Ublock origin, consent o matic

[-] martinbasic@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago

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 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

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

[-] SteveTech@programming.dev 4 points 1 year ago

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.

[-] Azgrel@lemmy.world 18 points 1 year ago

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 points 1 year ago

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 points 1 year ago

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

[-] GuyDudeman@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

DeArrow

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

[-] tun@lemm.ee 18 points 1 year ago

uBlock origin - block ad Dark reader - add dark mode to every website Tridactyl - keyboard navigation Bitwarden - password manager YouTube enhancer - add improvement to YT SponsorBlock - block sponsor segment in YT video Basr16 theme - have gruvboxdark theme

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

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

[-] Volidon@lemmy.world 6 points 1 year ago

Holy shit. Been looking for an addon like this

[-] UsernameLost@lemmy.ml 14 points 1 year ago

uBlock Origin and SponsorBlock

[-] GreenEngineering3475@lemmy.world 14 points 1 year ago

Ublock origin (Adblocker)

[-] Valmond@lemmy.mindoki.com 1 points 1 year ago

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

[-] KnightontheSun@lemmy.world 7 points 1 year ago

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

Try ublock matrix for an alternative.

[-] mars_one@lemmygrad.ml 1 points 1 year ago

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

[-] nxfsi@lemmy.world 8 points 1 year ago

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.

[-] Seabazz@lemmy.world 4 points 1 year ago

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 points 1 year ago

uBO and noscript

[-] azurefirefly@lemmy.basedcount.com 6 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

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

[-] AceLucario@lemm.ee 5 points 1 year ago

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

[-] DirigibleProtein@aussie.zone 5 points 1 year ago

Bitwarden, cookie autodelete

Bypass for ublock for getting past paywalls

[-] leraje@lemmy.blahaj.zone 5 points 1 year ago
  1. UBO (lots of links already in this thread)
  2. LocalCDN
  3. Linguist Translator - use the Bergamot engine for total privacy
  4. ClearURLs
[-] ohlaph@lemmy.world 4 points 1 year ago

Just uBlock.

[-] magmaus3@szmer.info 4 points 1 year ago

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
[-] Seabazz@lemmy.world 4 points 1 year ago

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

[-] bender@insaneutopia.com 3 points 1 year ago

A user Agent switcher, saml tracer

as an addon for all the others

[-] mojo@lemm.ee 2 points 1 year ago

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

[-] Katrisia@lemm.ee 2 points 1 year ago

uBlock Origin and Dark Reader.

[-] TheInsane42@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago

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)

uMatrix
Firefox Multi Account Containers
Video Speed Controller
Cookie AutoDelete

[-] Harimau@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago

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 points 1 year ago

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