I use NoScript, Ghostery and Privacy Badger and I can see who is tracking. You can block a lot with Noscript and still get almost full functionality on most sites. Noscript is built into the TorBrowser.

I would never use a "Google" Browser, unless I was developing and needed to test a site with it ... along with other browsers.

The only two ways I've seen to get a passing grade on tracking is the TorBrowser, and Firefox with NoScript (Ghostery and Privacy Badger). https://panopticlick.eff.org/

Never used the "noscript" feature, but I don't see how it would help

Yeah I failed everything on my phone . What is your browsing experience like blocking all that stuff in the fingerprinting section? Surely you have to allow some level of local/session storage for authentication not to get messed up from page to page when signed into an account, or access to your device max resolution to get served the right rendering of a site, just to name a couple.

ETA: I'm very much pro Firefox/Edge as competition drives innovation and keeps everyone honest to a degree.
