What browser extensions do you use that you'd recommend to others?

Do you contribute to any FOSS browser extension projects?

Are there any non-FOSS extensions that you wish had a sufficient FOSS alternative?

uBO, of course. note: you guys don't need ClearURLs with this list added.
LibRedirect for automatically opening Youtube, Twitter, TikTok etc. links in their privacy-focused front-ends. I just make sure to disable all the instances by esmailelbob since he's a little homophobic shithead
Buster for automatic captcha solving
Consent-O-Matic automatically clicks through cookies banner to deny all the cookies that aren't necessary, which I like better than just hiding the cookie banner
Redirect AMP to HTML because fuck AMP and fuck Google

Consent-O-Matic sounds really nice, thanks for sharing.

[-] KaSPer@sopuli.xyz 1 points 1 year ago

+1 for Consent-O-Matic.

Thank you for the list. Had a stupid solution for what you use Consent-O-Matic for, and LibRedirect closes a gap bugging me for a while. I had no chance to try Buster yet, but I'm so looking forward to let software solve something grinding my gears with things software can solve better than software thinks.

Buster is a twisted work of a twisted genius. it uses accessibility version of captcha, which is based on recorded speech that you're supposed to listen to and transcribe. it "plays" the audio silently, and uses speech recognition software to solve it.

for extra twistiness, you can actually set it up to use Google's own speech recognition API.

That's a bit like shoving their annoying puzzles up their own ~~arse~~ KI.
