Ublock origin, consent o matic

slazer2au@lemmy.world · 7 pts · 2y (1 reply)

I would flip origin for Adnausem. It is built on top of unlock origin and it will click on the ads behind the scene and messes your digital footprint.

PaperTowel@lemmy.world · 2 pts · 2y

I love that, what a great idea!

Tried consent-o-matic yesterday, it saved me a bunch of clicks and F12s to hide remove cookies popups that always covers my screen.. thanks!

Asudox@lemmy.world · 19 pts · 2y (1 reply)

uBlock Origin and I don't care about cookies. They're essential for me.

SteveTech@programming.dev · 4 pts · 2y

Just so you know IDCAC was bought by Avast, which is being bought by Norton/Symantec. There's "I still don't care about cookies" or the built in uBlock cookie banner options as a replacement.

Apart from what others mentioned I'd suggest installing DeArrow, from the maker of SponsorBlock. It gets rid of clickbait titles and thumbnails on YouTube.

Fetus@lemmy.world · 9 pts · 2y (1 reply)

But then where will I get to see an overexposed background image, some all caps text, and a portrait of someone with their mouth open, all at once?

Cosmocrat@lemmy.dbzer0.com · 2 pts · 2y

You can click the dearrow button next to all thumbnails to see the original title and image.

GuyDudeman@lemmy.world · 1 pts · 2y

DeArrow

OMG This makes Youtube useable!!! Honestly, it just relieved so much anxiety for me.

You nearly tricked me to install a vim plugin. I'd never be able to exit my browser again! /s

SkaveRat@discuss.tchncs.de · 2 pts · 2y (4 replies)

you say it like it's a bad thing

LetterboxPancake@sh.itjust.works · 1 pts · 2y (3 replies)

Not exiting the browser or using vim?

SkaveRat@discuss.tchncs.de · 3 pts · 2y (2 replies)

yes

People have already covered the great ones so I will mention one of the more obscure.

Volidon@lemmy.world · 6 pts · 2y

Holy shit. Been looking for an addon like this

Clearurls sounds divine. I'm always deleting that extra bs.

What about ghostery? I just started using it and I really like it, but, I just started using it :-)

KnightontheSun@lemmy.world · 7 pts · 2y

I have heard that Ghostery was sponsored by the ad industry to collect data. Been a while though.

Try ublock matrix for an alternative.

UsernameLost@lemmy.ml · 14 pts · 2y

uBlock Origin and SponsorBlock

nxfsi@lemmy.world · 8 pts · 2y

The only add-on that I consider necessary is uBO (with advanced settings).

All others are very good to have installed, in fact I use many of them, but I can live on just fine without them.

Dark reader screws up some sites for me, I prefer "dark background and light text" cuz it's more comprehensive and you can customize the asset colors

WheelcharArtist@lemmy.world · 7 pts · 2y

uBO and noscript

azurefirefly@lemmy.basedcount.com · 6 pts · 2y

Unlock origin, fast forward, dark reader, turbo downloader 3, sponsor block and terms of service; didn't read.

leraje@lemmy.blahaj.zone · 5 pts · 2y
  1. UBO (lots of links already in this thread)
  2. LocalCDN
  3. Linguist Translator - use the Bergamot engine for total privacy
  4. ClearURLs

Bypass for ublock for getting past paywalls

AceLucario@lemm.ee · 5 pts · 2y

Ublock origin is a requirement for all browsers, not just firefox. So definitely that one.

DirigibleProtein@aussie.zone · 5 pts · 2y

Bitwarden, cookie autodelete

Seabazz@lemmy.world · 4 pts · 2y

I keep coming back to Firefox cuz no other browser has as good of a dark mode addon as "dark background and light text"

ohlaph@lemmy.world · 4 pts · 2y

Just uBlock.

magmaus3@szmer.info · 4 pts · 2y

Outside of already mentioned:

  • Throttle Tabs – hides and closes tabs beyond a limit
  • LibRedirect – redirects to alternative frontends of sites (for example youtube)
  • Firefox Translations – offline translations
  • Web Archives
pewgar_seemsimandroid@lemmy.blahaj.zone · 3 pts · 2y (1 reply)

tab group add ons

pewgar_seemsimandroid@lemmy.blahaj.zone · 1 pts · 2y

as an addon for all the others

bender@insaneutopia.com · 3 pts · 2y

A user Agent switcher, saml tracer

mojo@lemm.ee · 2 pts · 2y

uBlock Origin simply required. Dark Reader is nice to have but not required.

Katrisia@lemm.ee · 2 pts · 2y

uBlock Origin and Dark Reader.

TheInsane42@lemmy.world · 2 pts · 2y

NoScript, uBlock Origin and Dark mode. (But I prefer the experimental darkmode setting in Vivaldi) Those are essential to me.

Panorama view is close to essential, I wish I found a tab stack alternative that works with it. (Haven't looked yet, Vivaldi is my current main browser, until Fifefox can get tames in the same way)

I miss Session Manager

yuunikki@lemmy.world · 1 pts · 2y

What is it

KeenSnappersDontCome@lemmy.world · 1 pts · 2y (1 reply)

uMatrix
Firefox Multi Account Containers
Video Speed Controller
Cookie AutoDelete

Harimau@lemmy.world · 2 pts · 2y

uMatrix is unfortunately discontinued. It's successor is uBlock origin. I learned that some month ago and switched fully to UBO.

There is an good article in the Github documentation from UBO, that can activate similar features like uMatrix.

Blocking mode: Medium mode

PaperTowel@lemmy.world · 1 pts · 2y

I use Privacy Badger to just help block trackers and stuff, I think Firefox has this built in though now
