What is your go-to browser and browser extension(s)? (leminal.space)

I was recently told about Vivaldi, and I’m excited about it. I love the privacy features and the tab organization. Proton VPN is built in, so it looks as if Proton is the best VPN extension for the browser. I imagine that other Proton products work well with it too.

What’s your favorite browser and browser extension(s) right now?

Firefox and it's stayed that way since version 1, not just right now. uBlock Origin or Ad Nauseum for ad blocking depending on my mood. Privacy Badger for tracking protection. Sponsorblock to skip paid promotions on youtube. Don't Fuck With Paste to prevent paste fuckery. Bypass Paywalls Clean (unlisted by Mozilla) to bypass paywalls. Tampermonkey for custom page editing. Dark Reader for making sites dark when they don't autodetect my preference.

I would suggest that you stop using Privacy Badger, since it does not provide any benefits compared to uBlock Origin or Ad Nauseum, and can even conflict with them.

I do turn it off when using Ad Nauseum, but I didn't know it was contraindicated with uBlock as well. Thanks! uBlock will do tracking protection on it's own to the same degree as the badger?

uBlock Origin will probably do even better than Privacy Badger, especially if you harden it (turn on advanced mode, toggle off 3rd party i-frames globally by default), and add more filter lists, as mentioned in Phoenix's uBO configuration.

I’ve never heard of Bypass Paywalls Clean!

Yeah it got delisted by Mozilla a few years back, I think for being too good at it's job and thus bringing heat from paywall site operators. But also the dev is I think Russian so there might be some politics or trust issues there. I've seen the code, doesn't worry me, I manually install from the author's github. But of course, end user beware.
