A nice place to discuss rumors, happenings, innovations, and challenges in the technology sphere. We also welcome discussions on the intersections of technology and society. If it’s technological news or discussion of technology, it probably belongs here.

Remember the overriding ethos on Beehaw: Be(e) Nice. Each user you encounter here is a person, and should be treated with kindness (even if they’re wrong, or use a Linux distro you don’t like). Personal attacks will not be tolerated.

Just uBlock.

A bunch of other key extensions already listed, but what I don't see that I use often is redirector. It lets you put in regex patterns to redirect window locations to another destination. For example I've used it to redirect any reddit.com link to old.reddit.com, use it to remove tracking parameters from URLS, redirect youtube to yewtube, etc.

For sake of the thread though, here's a short list I have on all systems

  • Redirector
  • Ublock Origin
  • Firefox multi containers
  • Bitwarden
  • Ghunt companion
  • Leech block
  • Noscript

Used to have

  • RES
  • Modtoolbox
  • Privacy Badger
  • HTTPS everywhere

Assuming this doesn't work on Firefox mobile yet? To achieve the same I switched my search to a selfhosted whoogle where i rewrite urls to invidious and nitter and shit

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 years ago

It does not have a mobile Firefox extension yet, no. That would be really nice though.

-uBlock Origin

-Sponsorblock

-Unhook for youtube

-unpinterested

-panicbutton

Also adguard dns filtering on my mobile devices. Would highly recommend panicbutton as a quick way to set a task aside without opening a new window and unhook to filter out the trash YouTube is shoveling onto the home page

I dont use HTTPS Everywhere anymore because its included in Firefox and Brave!

Browser: Firefox, gonna name stuff i don't see mentioned yet


'Multi Account Containers' + 'Container Tabs Sidebar' + 'Switch Container' + 'Temporary Containers' + ~~'don't care about cookies'~~ 'Consent-o-matic'
basically allows you to easily have multiple accounts on websites while also making sure everything stays contained to its own bubble, and anything I don't have a dedicated container for gets a temporary container that deletes the cookies after a bit ~~in order for me to both not care about cookies and also not get any cookies.~~ at this point mostly because I don't like accidentally having an account on a non-contained instance

ff2mpv - easily launch videos in mpv, requires a bit of setup

Image Search Options - finding the source of most drawings, spotting which anime a clip is from etc

Yomichan for quick access to locally installed dictionaries (for Japanese in this case)
Toggle Clipboard

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 years ago

behind! - makes it easy to access images hidden under layout tricks

Better Youtube+ - adds a few extra buttons such as download to youtube videos

Bypass Paywalls - as it says on the tin

Cookiebro - autodeletes all non-whitelisted cookies ten minutes after creation

Greasemonkey - enables userscripts, specifically:

 Anti-Adblock Killer - as it says on the tin

 EmuParadise Download Workaround - Nintendo made them hide the links, this shows them. May not be relevant anymore, haven't used it in a while

 Old Wikipedia Layout - edits all wikipedia links to include ?useskin=vector so it doesn't use the garbage new layout

 Redirect Twitter to Nitter - as it says on the tin, turns all twitter links to corresponding nitter links

 Simple Youtube Age Restriction Bypass - as it says on the tin

Privacy Badger - EFF tracker blocker

Return Youtube Dislike - as it says on the tin

SponsorBlock for Youtube - uses crowdsourced timestamps to block in-video youtube ads

uBlock Origin - basic/main adblocker

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 years ago

Vinegar on safari for iOS / macOS is probably the extension I find the most useful day to day. It replaces the usual YouTube video player with a standard html5 player. So no ads, and support for PiP.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 years ago

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

On Firefox:

  • uBlock Origin
  • Bitwarden
  • Decentraleyes
  • Terms of Service; Didn't Read
