You helped me find 4 new extensions...thanks!

Schooner, 10 months ago

Thanks for the Better History one. Firefox has such a garbage history function.

I used to have dozens of them, now only few:

• uBlock
• Violentmonkey
• FeedBro
• Bitwarden
• Vimium
• Sponsorblock
• Return Youtube Dislike
• DeArrow (installed today)

Highly recommend Vimium in particular. Avoids repeat movements of switching between keyboard and mouse.

Sausa, 10 months ago

Yeah I've found Vimium incredibly useful. Started getting some pain in my hands and Vimium helped out by reducing my trackpad use on my laptop.

On Firefox:

• uBlock Origin
• Bitwarden
• Decentraleyes
• Terms of Service; Didn't Read
• Firefox Multi-Account Containers
• Facebook Container
• Consent-O-Matic
• Don't Track Me Google

...and the add-ons not related to privacy:

• 10ten Japanese Reader (Rikaichamp)
• Zhongwen
• New Xkit
• Earth View from Google Earth
• Palette Creator
• Save to Notion
• Send to Outline
• Web to EPUB

I use most of these on Brave Browser, too.

@datavoid uBlock, I don't care about cookies, and Redirector with https://farside.link

noodlejetski, 10 months ago

from https://beehaw.org/comment/80030:

uBO, of course. note: you guys don't need ClearURLs with this list added.
LibRedirect for automatically opening Youtube, Twitter, TikTok etc. links in their privacy-focused front-ends. I just make sure to disable all the instances by esmailelbob since he's a little homophobic shithead
Buster for automatic captcha solving
Consent-O-Matic automatically clicks through cookies banner to deny all the cookies that aren't necessary, which I like better than just hiding the cookie banner
Redirect AMP to HTML because fuck AMP and fuck Google

also make sure to check the "do not bother" list here: https://github.com/arkenfox/user.js/wiki/4.1-Extensions

• uBlock Origin

Important. I’ve added the Bypass Paywalls-filter as well, which makes browsing a lot more pleasant.

• SponsorBlock

I will not watch ads, not even one.

• I still don’t care about cookies

This removes most of the annoyance of cookie banners and consent dialogs

• Redirect AMP to HTML

AMP sucks, rather not even see it

• Libredirect

A recent favorite - I started using this as Twitter on web was becoming increasingly unusable, and Nitter is a fine alternative. Now I use it for Twitter, TikTok, Imgur, Medium and Reddit.

The only one I use that wasn't mentioned yet is unpaywall, for finding scientific articles in open databases.

• uBlock Origin
• NoScript
• Bitwarden

--

I previously used Privacy Badger, but I block basically everything with NoScript anyway, so it was redundant. I also used HTTPS Everywhere but you can enable that in most (all?) browsers now anyway, so you don't need an extension any longer (the highest form of success for an extension). I also previously used LastPass, but I got out before they had their security issues, and importantly changed every password when I transitioned. On work computer I have the 1password extension.

narc0tic_bird, 10 months ago

NoScript is redundant when using uBlock Origin in advanced mode as well.

gigachad, 10 months ago

• uBlock Origin
• Bypass Paywalls Plus
• I don't care about Cookies
• Cookie AutoDelete

The Cookie addons work wonderfully together. IDCAC just accepts every cookie banner automatically, AutoDelete removes them after the tab was closed.

BuxtonWater, 10 months ago

• uBlock Origin
• Privacy Badger
• HTTPS Everywhere
• Firefox Relay
• NoScript (off 99% of the time since it's not really needed)
• RES (until reddit does some stupid shit and bans it or something so I can finally quit it entirely)
• TinEye Reverse Image Search

That's basically it. But after reading a few comments I added:

• Consent-o-matic
• Decentraleyes

uBlock Origin
Dark Reader
Return Dislikes for YouTube

Most other needs can be configured with Firefox whether it be css stuff like dark scroll bars or browser behaviour. The fewer add-ons the better.
