Check out Dearrow. It's a new extension from sponsorblock's developer which removes clickbaity thumbnails and replaces them with crowdsourced ones
I tried using another extension that replaced the thumbnail with a frame from the video, which just led to it being more confusing to parse. Community sourcing this might be a better solution.
Edit: This is much better and I've already started adding titles and thumbnails.
Thank you for contributing
Crowdsourced thumbnails?
Lol
Id rather it was just a snippet of the channels banner or something.
dont use grammarly spyware. i would recommend useragent switcher
it's spyware? do you know of anything similar I should switch to?
Its basically a keylogger that checks EVERYTHING you type
Why do you think its company is valued so high?
They know everything you type. Even if you dont send it.
(Im not aware of an alternative. But if there is one its probably working the same way?)
i hate to say this, but manually checking your writing is unfortunately the best option. unless it is running locally and open source, it is by definition a key-logger, no matter who operates it. if u need to use it, i would suggest only using it for important and non-sensitive content, and disabling it the rest of the time
I found LanguageTool and it seems to be open-source, is it safe?
it really depends on your threat model and convenience/privacy tradeoff. i personally wouldnt use it, but i doubt its that bad, although i would suggest to use the webpage only, not the browser extension. at the end of the days theres obviously bigger things to worry about, but every part counts
it seems I can run it locally, but the information in the guide is beyond my knowledge
The number of extensions required to make youtube not shit is outstanding. They've tried to make the user experience as unbearable as possible .

As you already have so many Youtube extensions, you should check out sponsorblock. It lets you automatically skip ads within the video itself. And if not done yet, you can do it yourself for the community.
It's already there in the top bar :)
It's already pinned to the toolbar though. Anything else you'd recommend?
Enhancer for youtube. https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/enhancer-for-youtube/ Or ImprovedTube https://github.com/code-charity/youtube
What's lemmy link?
Extensions nom nom memory, so I use as few as possible and just use uBlock, Dark Reader, and Bitwarden

On desktop, I have uBlock Origin, Disconnect, Privacy Badger, Clear-URLs, Decentraleyes, Bitwarden, Multi Account Containers and Facebook container, old.reddit (which I no longer use since I left the site), RES (same with old.reddit). I don’t really use a lot of app-specific extensions and I’m more focused on the general privacy and security ones.

Ruffle :D
An open source Flash player emulator. I definitely recommend it because I also contribute to it. But it's great, if you stumble across any old websites using Flash games or animations, you can just continue to play and watch them with it :D

Bit warden is a must for me
I've had adblockers and Facebook gate installed for ages as well.
I think I'll grab the youtube ones you have here I'm tired of ads
I use, Ublock Orgin(King), NoScript, Firefox containers, ViolentMonkey, Skip Redirect(I dont really like this but the ArkenFox guy recommends it), return youtube dislikes and Sponsor block.
I have 19. Mostly just things to enhance sites I visit.
What are the others on top all I know is ublock origin and privacy badger.
From left to right excluding the ones you already knew: SimpleLogin, CanvasBlocker, DuckDuckGo, Malwarebytes, SponserBlock, Buster: Captcha Solver, Auto Tab Discard
uBlock Origin, 1Password, GNOME Shell integration.
I only have 3 to reduce fingerprinting uBlock Origin Bitwarden Return YouTube Dislike
None. But I have 11 active ones on Vivaldi.
You can hide youtube shorts with Ublock Orgin's element picker :)
I usually use UBlock Origin, Privacy Badger, Dark Reader, Firefox Containers, Privacy Redirect, Bitwarden and Decentraleyes but idk if I would recommend using that many. Addons have a lot of access to your private data by desing (they modify websites and requests) so it's very important to keep an eye on the installed ones and organizations or indivituals behind them! My personal wakeup moment was the sale of Nano Adblocker where the buyer pushed an update with questionable code, that had a good reputation and definitely wasn't some noname one so bad stuff can happen quicker than you might expect!
Is there a more privacy oriented version of Grammarly?
Check out Consent-O-Matic, it automatically handles most GDPR compliant cookie prompts in the most privacy conscious way possible for the user.

I try to keep it to minimal, but I have these enabled
Firefox Multi-Account Containers, GNOME Shell integration, KeePassXC-Browser, Snowflake, uBlock Origin
I find the keepassXc extension isn't really needed since its got a pretty good auto-type feature built in
Idk I don't really find them comparable. Anyways, I'm only ever using the autotype in vm consoles where I can't copypaste.
uBlock Origin, CanvasBlocker, Chameleon (protection from fingerprinting, browser profile spoofing), I still don't care about cookies, SingleFile, Long Screenshot.
If you use firefox it already has a pretty dam good screenshot extension built in
