privacy badger is useless with ublock origin
Not entirely. Privacy Badger will also block embedded social media posts, replacing them with opt-in viewing.
Ublock origin is way more than a Ad blocker. It also blocks lots of other things including site hijacks though multiple redirects and redirecting tracking links.
I have all except one: Decentraleyes instead of Privacy Badger, for no specific reasons.
Dark Reader, LibRedirect, ublock origin
I've tried LibRedirect on desktop, but most of the frontends it redirected to didn't work. Is that fixed?
You can pick which instance you're redirected to. If one stops working, pick another.
Was the same for me at first but in the setting is button which pings the instances. I just checked everything with a green number and unchecked everything with a red number. After that it worked.
There is a war going on. Just find one that works and use it.
Ublock origin, tampermonkey and bitwarden
Is there any reason to use the Bitwarden Firefox extension rather than the app?
Autofill
Consent-O-Matic is a massive timesaver and works great on mobile. Not sure if you can install it directly these days, I use my own collection.
What it does?
It takes care of most cookie consent popups you get when visiting a new website. And it can automatically deny anything that hurts your privacy.
- unhook - remove YouTube recommended
- hide youtube shorts

- I dont care about cookies
Has anyone else found the firefox app on android buggy? Always crashes when switching to full screen when watching a video but will work when opening it again immediately. Gets into the wrong state with private vs non private tabs etc.
Video sometimes fails to play when coming back to it. I need to restart the browser. However the rest of the page is responsive and I haven't had it crash.
LibRedirect, NoScript, uBlock Origin.
User-Agent Switcher and Manager for those rare occasions when a site wants to prevent access from a mobile browser and/or Firefox in general
Ublock origin is what I mostly use
- The classic, uBlock Origin
- Decentraleyes
- Bitwarden
- Read Aloud
Dark Reader works, but unfortunately it completely destroys the performance
True. I've had better luck with Dark Background and Light Text.
I have a collection just for that
