    That is a good one. I would also recommend Midnight Lizard, which has more customization options, but uses more resources / is slower.

    olicvb,
    @olicvb@lemmy.ca avatar

    I second Midnight Lizard, the customization is very nice

    Kelly,

    If you spend any time on YouTube sponsor block is handy

    nebulaone,
    @nebulaone@lemmy.world avatar

    Also a great addon, though I use FreeTube, which has it built in.

    shrugal,

    Also DeArrow to replace the obnoxious thumbnails.

    IamLost,

    I kind of like seeing the annoying thumbnails cause I find it correlates pretty good to the content I want to avoid

    SomeGuy69,

    Omg what! I got to test this, sounds too good to be true. Thanks.

    tobogganablaze, (edited )

    As important? No.

    But I also couldn’t cope without my AutoplayStopper. I hate autoplaying content so much, especially on news sites.

    nebulaone,
    @nebulaone@lemmy.world avatar

    I thought you could disable that in the settings.

    tobogganablaze,

    Oh nice, must have missed that one.

    anguo,

    Firefox prevents autoplay automatically.

    tobogganablaze,

    Yep, apprently since 2019. I never knew.

    sir_pronoun,

    I would yet like to find a good addon to block cookie banners reliably, and autoselect the most restrictive options

    nebulaone,
    @nebulaone@lemmy.world avatar

    Same, that would be huge. I hope someday the EU will force websites to fulfill “do not track” requests.

    florge,

    I’ve found Consent-O-Matic to be pretty good.

    AnActOfCreation,
    @AnActOfCreation@programming.dev avatar

    Try I still don’t care about cookies. It works much better than C-O-M for me!

    CrayonRosary,

    Decentraleyes prevents loading common scripts from big name CDNs. Requesting a script from a google-owned CDN with your google cookies and the current URL as the referrer is a way to spy on you.

    Decentraleyes loads these common scripts from it’s own cache instead.

    nebulaone,
    @nebulaone@lemmy.world avatar

    I often heard that Decentraleyes doesn’t actually do anything 99% of the time. I don’t know how true that is, though.

    Kerb,
    @Kerb@discuss.tchncs.de avatar

    aparently you know more than we here.

    i had to look it up,
    but aparently Decentraleyes isnt being maintained and grew more useless as the time went on.

    aparently localCDN is a better mantained alternative.

    amackif,
    @amackif@mastodon.social avatar

    @Kerb @nebulaone how trustworthy is ? is kind of confirmed by , they even recommend it

    nebulaone,
    @nebulaone@lemmy.world avatar

    The source code is public ( codeberg.org/nobody/LocalCDN ) and it has a reasonable amount of stars. So I think it should be fine. No guarantees, though.

    WashedOver,
    @WashedOver@lemmy.ca avatar

    I saw there has been a recent update to Decentraleyes. Not sure if this addresses the abandoned issue though. Trying out LOCALCDN instead…

    CrayonRosary, (edited )

    Thanks for the tip. From the localCDN description:

    Differences between LocalCDN and Decentraleyes

    LocalCDN contains a big collection of frameworks and useful functions.

    • New: Sync extension settings with Firefox Sync or own server
    • Includes Rocket Loader, Findify, Vue.js, page.js, lozad, AngularJS, Bootstrap, Google Material Icons, React, Vue, Chart.js and much more. The list will be continuously updated.
    • Includes Font Awesome in different version (v3.x, v4.x, v5.x, v6.x)
    • Prepared rules for uBlock Origin/uMatrix/AdGuard and notifications if rule changes are necessary
    • Removes integrity/crossorigin attributes to replace more frameworks

    …mozilla.org/…/localcdn-fork-of-decentraleyes/

    slazer2au,

    Consent-o-matic. Auto decline gpdr popups.
    addons.mozilla.org/en-US/…/consent-o-matic/

    CyberSeeker,

    Isn’t there a filter set for this in uBlock already? Annoyances filter?

    slazer2au,

    I believe it unlock just hides them and not very well.

    This will actively opt out of everything for you.

    UprisingVoltage,

    Doesn’t the third party cookie blocking already do this?

    lorkano,

    They block collection but popups are still here and you have to press them on every page you go to

    UprisingVoltage,

    Ublock with the annoyances filters enabled hides most of them perfectly, and if the website uses some obscure toolkit/creates its own banner you can always remove it using the content selector

    Hence, there is no need for the the extension mentioned in the parent comment

    umbrella,
    @umbrella@lemmy.ml avatar

    i tought they needed to be opted in for the tracking to be allowed to work?

    nebulaone,
    @nebulaone@lemmy.world avatar

    Nice, I will definitely try this. Thanks.

    runswithjedi,

    This is awesome, thanks. Now that I have it installed I’d like to try it. Know any websites to test it out?

    slazer2au,

    Enable the plugin while using private mode and see how it handles Google, YouTube and a random news site.

    AnActOfCreation,
    @AnActOfCreation@programming.dev avatar

    I’ve had much better luck with I still don’t care about cookies. Maybe I was doing something wrong but C-O-M didn’t seem to do much for me.

    SorteKanin,
    @SorteKanin@feddit.dk avatar

    And fun fact, it’s developed by Danish researchers:

    This add-on is built and maintained by workers at Aarhus University in Denmark. We are privacy researchers that got tired of seeing how companies violate the EU’s General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR). Because the organisations that enforce the GDPR do not have enough resources, we built this add-on to help them out.

    Kerb,
    @Kerb@discuss.tchncs.de avatar

    next to ublock i also use Decentraleyes
    (further protection aganst tracking,
    probably a bit less mobile usage,
    and otherwise 0 impact)

    video background play fix
    (prevents youtube from stopping if my smartphone is locked)

    ublacklist
    (prevents sites you hate from appearing in your google search results (mostly fandom.com for me))

    nebulaone,
    @nebulaone@lemmy.world avatar

    Highly recommend using the NewPipe app for youtube if you are on android.

    xploit,

    You want Tubular for Android TV though as newpipe doesn’t work on it. Navigation is not great on Android TV, specifically on a video that’s playing but you get used to it.

    anguo,

    I personally prefer staying in the browser.

    Fetus,

    While we’re on the subject, does anyone know of a way to block those scroll triggered pop-ups that are everywhere these days? You know the ones, you get a little bit down a page, then:

    SIGN UP FOR 10 PERCENT OFF

    Any help is greatly appreciated.

    nebulaone, (edited )
    @nebulaone@lemmy.world avatar

    In the uBlock Origin Settings -> Filter Lists check lists named “annoyances” and “newsletters” or try other additional ones. That should help.

    AnActOfCreation,
    @AnActOfCreation@programming.dev avatar

    You can try PopUpOFF. It’s not perfect and can be over-aggressive at hiding legitimate popups but it’s worth a try.

    SomeGuy69,

    I still don’t care about cookies, Simple translate and Hoverzoom+. Sidebery is great too if you want a custom Firefox. Honorable mentioned, YouTube repeat button.

    neme,

    YouTube repeat button

    Doesn’t that just do what right clicking over the video player and selecting Loop does?

    meekah,
    @meekah@lemmy.world avatar

    Probably.

    SomeGuy69,

    You can add start and end, good for music videos. So you only repeat the part you need.

    RainfallSonata,

    Behind the Overlay.

    RainfallSonata,

    I don’t want to say its name, cause I worry (maybe unnecessarily) about making it a target, but there’s a downloader for YouTube that’s the only extension I’ve ever paid for.

    nebulaone,
    @nebulaone@lemmy.world avatar

    You could have just used yt-dlp (open source): github.com/yt-dlp/yt-dlp/releases

    Dark reader. Dont wanna burn my eyes

    Diurnambule,

    I use this one, great one

    s3rvant,

    Started using this one recently and am loving it

    uBlacklist is great for hiding horrid search results.

    kindenough,
    kindenough avatar

    He thanks, finally rid of userbenchmark.com results.

    padge,

    ClearURLs is nice, it makes links a lot shorter and removes all the tracking junk from it. I also can’t live without SponsorBlock and Return YouTube Dislike

    washbasin,

    You can achieve ClearURLs directly in uBlock Origin.

    github.com/gorhill/uBlock/…/Static-filter-syntax#…

    Can also add lists to your filters to assist. “Actually Legitimate URL Shortener Tool” and “ClearURLs for uBo” are the ones I am aware of.

    Sunny,

    Thanks, I needed this 🌻

    Kyouki,

    This was an amazing change as ClearURLs sometimes did mess with some sites.
