Between uBlock Origin, Privacy Badger, ClearURLs, Decentraleyes, and Privacy Possum, I'm having a hard time deciding which ones I actually need and which ones I don't. Do they actually do different things, or are they largely the same?

"Depends".

Keep in mind that figuring out some information about your client is not unwanted, like screen size and device type (desktop vs mobile page and also desktop page orientation), browser and version for special handling code, or languages as defined in the browser to decide which language version to show.

The same readouts, of course, also enable tracking.
