  • uBlock Origin
  • NoScript
  • Bitwarden

--

I previously used Privacy Badger, but I block basically everything with NoScript anyway, so it was redundant. I also used HTTPS Everywhere but you can enable that in most (all?) browsers now anyway, so you don't need an extension any longer (the highest form of success for an extension). I also previously used LastPass, but I got out before they had their security issues, and importantly changed every password when I transitioned. On work computer I have the 1password extension.

NoScript is redundant when using uBlock Origin in advanced mode as well.

Browser: Firefox, gonna name stuff i don't see mentioned yet


'Multi Account Containers' + 'Container Tabs Sidebar' + 'Switch Container' + 'Temporary Containers' + ~~'don't care about cookies'~~ 'Consent-o-matic'
basically allows you to easily have multiple accounts on websites while also making sure everything stays contained to its own bubble, and anything I don't have a dedicated container for gets a temporary container that deletes the cookies after a bit ~~in order for me to both not care about cookies and also not get any cookies.~~ at this point mostly because I don't like accidentally having an account on a non-contained instance

ff2mpv - easily launch videos in mpv, requires a bit of setup

Image Search Options - finding the source of most drawings, spotting which anime a clip is from etc

Yomichan for quick access to locally installed dictionaries (for Japanese in this case)
Toggle Clipboard

-uBlock Origin

-Sponsorblock

-Unhook for youtube

-unpinterested

-panicbutton

Also adguard dns filtering on my mobile devices. Would highly recommend panicbutton as a quick way to set a task aside without opening a new window and unhook to filter out the trash YouTube is shoveling onto the home page

Firefox:
UBlock Origin
DuckDuckGo Privacy Essentials Plugin
Decentraleyes

Brave:
UBlock Origin
DuckDuckGo Privacy Essentials Plugin

I dont use HTTPS Everywhere anymore because its included in Firefox and Brave!

Edit: I only use Brave to do my school homework because firefox messes with the website we use sometimes.

Vinegar on safari for iOS / macOS is probably the extension I find the most useful day to day. It replaces the usual YouTube video player with a standard html5 player. So no ads, and support for PiP.

[-] liz1328@beehaw.org 1 points 1 year ago

Here are the plugins I use:

  • React Developer Tools (useful for developing with React)
  • Ublock Origin
  • Return Youtube Dislike
  • SponsorBlock
  • Grepper (shows convenient code snippets when I Google stuff)
  • Cold Turkey Blocker (I use this to to block websites/apps when I need to focus)
  • Shinigami Eyes (highlights queer friendly and anti queer subreddits/users/facebook pages/group differently)

  • uBlock Origin

Important. I've added the Bypass Paywalls-filter as well, which makes browsing a lot more pleasant.

  • SponsorBlock

I will not watch ads, not even one.

  • I still don't care about cookies

This removes most of the annoyance of cookie banners and consent dialogs

  • Redirect AMP to HTML

AMP sucks, rather not even see it

  • Libredirect

A recent favorite - I started using this as Twitter on web was becoming increasingly unusable, and Nitter is a fine alternative. Now I use it for Twitter, TikTok, Imgur, Medium and Reddit.
