Do not send me Chrome addons. I do not care that you have a worse version of uBlock
Bitwarden.
Oh for sure I raise you Keepass’s addon but they have the same use case with minor differences (Keepass is easier to automate for things like providing bots with changed social media credentials)
I think all of these also have Chrome versions, but still better on FF due to being able to install (or side-load if not listed or not whitelisted for mobile) onto the mobile version. The day I learned how to get non-whitelisted ones to install and install from xpi was game over for bothering with other mobile browsers.
- FastStream for downloading videos from YT and a lot of other sites (I daily use it for grabbing stuff on Twitter)
- Bypass Paywalls Clean for the obvious (this one is to the dev’s not github but same kind of site site as it has to be installed via xpi)
- Watch on Odysee for seeing if a YT channel also uploads to Odysee to go watch there if possible and at least give my view there
- SponsorBlock for being able to skip hard-coded ads from the uploads and other sections of YT videos
- DeArrow for being able to view titles for YT videos that are more reflective of content
- Wayback Machine for saving pages to Archive.org along with saving them to my account on there.
- Privacy Possum for more aggressive blocking of tracking (though it does require remembering it is on if a site breaks as it will block things that uBO isn’t the cause of the issue)
Multi-account containers. Let’s you have 2 different Gmail accounts open at once. Also I try to silo different parts of my life to prevent tracking.
Noscript and tampermonkey too.
I understand that you might want to run your own JavaScript and not others’ JavaScript, but I had a brief laugh at listing “no JavaScript” and “MOAR JAVASCRIPT” together.
Adnauseam Silently click-spams ads to drain their bandwidth, with the purpose of making the horrible advertising business unprofitable.
this is built on ublock origin, so if your using it get rid of ublock origin as well.
Tree style tabs
Makes it simultaneously easier to open a billion pages but also manages them nicely
I tried this one of the tree tab addons, that may have been it, but it actually had a noticeable performance cost - made me sad :(
Now that hq finally added the fucking vertical tab sidebar I use that
Sidebery
Sponsor Block–Skips some YouTube ads.
Language Tool–keeps me from making stupid grammar errors.
Cookie Quick Manager–you can lock cookies and other stuff.
Tridactyl is a must for me. It’s as close to the Qutebrowser experience as I can find (especially with ‘:guiset none’) but I get to keep my ublock/sponsorblocks.
I like to use mouse gestures since the time Opera had its own engine. So basically the Gesturefy add-on for Firefox is a must for me.
I’ll throw out a few.
Wouldn’t chameleon make you just as trackable unless you’re also switching your vpn every time you switch user agents?
In general user agents dont do much although i didnt scrutinize chamrlron. You could use a foxyproxy tab. I generally use the super generic kind of antifingerprinting options w foxyproxy, but presumably they would work together
Tridactyl
SteamDB makes Steam actually usable
Tabby. A tab manager, but I mainly use it to search for tabs.
JShelter?
V important tool
I use a bunch of YouTube enhancing extensions.
SponsorBlock. so very, very good. First user into a video after it drops, who has this extension, marks the portion of it that is the YouTuber’s ad read / sponsor segment. Extension auto-skips it for every user who watches after. Saves a lot of time.
Multiselect for YouTube. Just what it sounds like, you can select multiple videos at once to add or delete from playlists, instead of doing them one at a time.
PlayerTube. Use approximations of player UIs from bygone years. I’m partial to 2013 myself.
Return YouTube Dislike and YouTube Shorts Block. Self explanatory from titles.
Others (non-YT) I use…
Change Case. I watch my keyboard and not my screen whilst typing, and this just lets me quickly flip large chunks of unnoticed caps-lock text back to normal once I discover it, rather than having to retype it all.
Simple Translate. Quickly run highlighted text through a translator on the right click menu.
