No one mentioned Privacy Badger yet. Is there something I don't know?
Ublock origin
Sponsor Block
Foxy Gestures
Many commenters mentioned ublock, but don't forget to enable additional filters for shit like cookie banners or other annoyances
Surprised no one posted this link: https://awesome-privacy.xyz/security-tools/browser-extensions
Great resource btw, check out the website for other tools.
JShelter and Decentraleyes. And uBlock Origins, but it's already popular without me. :)
Ooh damn I didn't know about that, nice. I see JShelter is NLNet funded, makes perfect sense.
Thanks for sharing, trying!
Why Decentraleyes and not LocalCDN (which I believe is more updated)?
Library extension. Go to as page selling a book (Amazon, Powell's, etc.) and the extension will show you if you're local library has the book, how many copies, and if they're available for checkout. You can then click through and put a hold on the book.
Great cure for impulse buying of books. I've read more and bought less since using it.
Wow! Brilliant! Unfortunately my local library is not in their catalogue. They do have a public catalog and even a way to get online books, also with search capabilities, so hopefully they can find a way to integrate. I submitted their data to the extension maintainers.
Ublock origin and privacy badger
Remove YouTube Suggestions (assuming you still use the YouTube client directly).
Also, Tampermonkey, to install single-site scripts that you can customize and with more limited permissions.
ublock origin and umatrix, anything else only makes you more fingerprintable
ublock orgin stylus if u use user styles and sidebery
Apart from those already mentioned I need Sidebery
It's not about privacy per se but Tridactyl
"A Vim-like interface for Firefox, inspired by Vimperator/Pentadactyl." because, like Userscripts - Tampermonkey, you can basically redesign any website.
A basic privacy oriented solution I made was using autocmd
https://tridactyl.xyz/build/static/docs/modules/_src_excmds_.html#autocmd to redirect YouTube content to my local https://github.com/user234683/youtube-local and that works even with embeds.
