Ublock origin, consent o matic

[-] slazer2au@lemmy.world 11 points 1 year ago

I would flip origin for Adnausem. It is built on top of unlock origin and it will click on the ads behind the scene and messes your digital footprint.

[-] PaperTowel@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago

I love that, what a great idea!

[-] martinbasic@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago

Tried consent-o-matic yesterday, it saved me a bunch of clicks and F12s to ~~hide~~ remove cookies popups that always covers my screen.. thanks!

[-] Asudox@lemmy.world 20 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

uBlock Origin and I don't care about cookies. They're essential for me.

[-] SteveTech@programming.dev 4 points 1 year ago

Just so you know IDCAC was bought by Avast, which is being bought by Norton/Symantec. There's "I still don't care about cookies" or the built in uBlock cookie banner options as a replacement.

Apart from what others mentioned I'd suggest installing DeArrow, from the maker of SponsorBlock. It gets rid of clickbait titles and thumbnails on YouTube.

[-] Fetus@lemmy.world 10 points 1 year ago

But then where will I get to see an overexposed background image, some all caps text, and a portrait of someone with their mouth open, all at once?

[-] Cosmocrat@lemmy.dbzer0.com 2 points 1 year ago

You can click the dearrow button next to all thumbnails to see the original title and image.

[-] GuyDudeman@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

DeArrow

OMG This makes Youtube useable!!! Honestly, it just relieved so much anxiety for me.

  • uBlock origin - block ad
  • Dark reader - add dark mode to every website
  • Tridactyl - keyboard navigation
  • Bitwarden - password manager
  • YouTube enhancer - add improvement to YT
  • SponsorBlock - block sponsor segment in YT video
  • Base16 theme - have gruvboxdark theme

You nearly tricked me to install a vim plugin. I'd never be able to exit my browser again! /s

People have already covered the great ones so I will mention one of the more obscure.

[-] Volidon@lemmy.world 6 points 1 year ago

Holy shit. Been looking for an addon like this

Dark reader screws up some sites for me, I prefer "dark background and light text" cuz it's more comprehensive and you can customize the asset colors

[-] nxfsi@lemmy.world 8 points 1 year ago

The only add-on that I consider necessary is uBO (with advanced settings).

All others are very good to have installed, in fact I use many of them, but I can live on just fine without them.

[-] WheelcharArtist@lemmy.world 7 points 1 year ago

uBO and noscript

[-] leraje 5 points 1 year ago
  1. UBO (lots of links already in this thread)
  2. LocalCDN
  3. Linguist Translator - use the Bergamot engine for total privacy
  4. ClearURLs

Bypass for ublock for getting past paywalls

[-] DirigibleProtein@aussie.zone 5 points 1 year ago

Bitwarden, cookie autodelete

[-] AceLucario@lemm.ee 5 points 1 year ago

Ublock origin is a requirement for all browsers, not just firefox. So definitely that one.

[-] ohlaph@lemmy.world 4 points 1 year ago

Just uBlock.

[-] Seabazz@lemmy.world 4 points 1 year ago

I keep coming back to Firefox cuz no other browser has as good of a dark mode addon as "dark background and light text"

[-] magmaus3@szmer.info 4 points 1 year ago

Outside of already mentioned:

  • Throttle Tabs – hides and closes tabs beyond a limit
  • LibRedirect – redirects to alternative frontends of sites (for example youtube)
  • Firefox Translations – offline translations
  • Web Archives

[-] pewgar_seemsimandroid 1 points 1 year ago

as an addon for all the others

[-] TheInsane42@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago

NoScript, uBlock Origin and Dark mode. (But I prefer the experimental darkmode setting in Vivaldi) Those are essential to me.

Panorama view is close to essential, I wish I found a tab stack alternative that works with it. (Haven't looked yet, Vivaldi is my current main browser, until Fifefox can get tames in the same way)

[-] bender@insaneutopia.com 2 points 1 year ago

A user Agent switcher, saml tracer

[-] Katrisia@lemm.ee 2 points 1 year ago

uBlock Origin and Dark Reader.

[-] mojo@lemm.ee 2 points 1 year ago

uBlock Origin simply required. Dark Reader is nice to have but not required.

[-] viperex@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago
[-] yuunikki@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago
[-] PaperTowel@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

I use Privacy Badger to just help block trackers and stuff, I think Firefox has this built in though now

uMatrix
Firefox Multi Account Containers
Video Speed Controller
Cookie AutoDelete

[-] Harimau@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago

uMatrix is unfortunately discontinued. It's successor is uBlock origin. I learned that some month ago and switched fully to UBO.

There is an good article in the Github documentation from UBO, that can activate similar features like uMatrix.
