Https everywhere is redundant now, ff has a built in function iirc, that’s why eff doesn’t update it anymore

Every extension installed can view every page you go to and any information you enter, including passwords. You are potentially sharing a lot of private information with a lot of random developers/sketch people who hired developers.

You really need to consider the people behind the extensions and whether you trust them to not run off with all your bitcoins and blackmail you for the content of your saucy emails, and furry porn addiction.

That’s a hell lot of extensions. What’s your memory and cpu usge ?

I think certain things such as Deviantart Anti Janky, ReviewMeta, Old Reddit Redirect, Old Twitter Layout, Terms of Service; Didn’t Read can be managed via userscripts (Violent Monkey).

About the usage of Honey and SlickDeals. I think it defeats the purpose of some of the privacy extensions you are using.

For “To Google Translate”, I recommend using Linguist instead: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/linguist-translator/

Goood god 😮

I think you may have an unhealthy relationship with Extensions. 🙃

Remember that everytime you install an additional extension you are effectively expanding your circle of trust, giving some company or developer privileged access to your browsing. The only extensions vetted for security by Mozilla are the ones with an ‘Recommended’ badge next to the name. Each additional extension increases the risks to your privacy, your security, and just generally increases the potential for issues.

At least some of the extensions on your list are violating your privacy/exist to harvest your personal data, profile you, or sell you things.

That doesn’t mean that you shouldn’t use extensions at all. But it does mean you should be thoughtful about what you install. Should do your due diligence, look into extensions before you install them, and understand the developers motivations for giving you something for free which costs them time and sometimes money (There are legit reasons but also common malicious reasons). And it means you should be cautious and reluctant to install too many new extensions.

If I were in your shoes with this many extensions, I wouldn’t be asking which individual extensions to get rid of, I’d start with a fresh Firefox profile, configure it roughly like this, get rid of all the extensions except uBlock Origin and Bitwarden and maybe violent monkey if that is something you rely on. And then slowly reads extensions as needed, one at a time, spending time to research it a bit before installing and researching if there is a better way to accomplish it.

With no other extensions Firefox + uBO can be really powerful and flexible, you’ve just got to spend some time learning how to use them. There are a few others on your list that I use also, but I’d say start with the basics and build from there. Also if you feel you need the shopping and deals extensions at least consider putting them in their own profile that you use only for shopping.

Also may I ask what’s with the hatred on webp? Just curious

Remove “old reddit redirect” and just seb in your account preferences that you want to opt out of the redesign (I think you have to set it in the new settings)

Good to see a fellow extension addict like myself! 😅

I think uBlock has a feature that’s similar ClearUrls that you can replace

You should be able to disable webrtc in about:config by changing media.peerconnection.enabled to False

Https only is deprecated and can be enabled directly in the browser

HTTPS Everywhere isn’t really necessary anymore, you can set that up in your settings now

ClearURLs can be replaced by a uBO filterlist

To Google Translate & TWP - Translate Web Pages can be somewhat replaced by the builtin translation engine, whivh doesn’t support a lot of languages for now but it has the benefit of translating it all from your machine, which is better privacy-wise

Bypass Paywalls Clean © can be done through a uBO filterlist

If your keyboard has home/end buttons (right side, towards the top for me) and scroll to top does what it sounds like, you can probably ditch that one.

Pressing home automatically sends you to the top of the page, pressing end sends you to the bottom.

I personally got rid of Honey because I got word of it being a data harvester, which makes sense to me since it spammed advertising to YouTube sponsorships despite being a “free” thing… so I honestly didn’t bother looking to far into that I just chucked it and moved on. It wasn’t important enough for me to bother checking how they got the money to advertise through content creators.

I do use Dark Reader, RES (rip Reddit though. RES gets far less use now but I’m still keeping it), Sponsorblock, Return YouTube Dislike, and uBlock Origin from that list. So obviously I (currently) agree with them.

holy shit thats a lot

I wouldn’t use the browser extension of bitwarden. It is safer to have it as an external program hidden from your desktop. I now know that you use bitwarden, and can plan a attack around it. Browser integration can be exploited if there’s ever a bug with the browser itself.

HTTPS everywhere has been phased out since Firefox already has an HTTPS-only mode in the settings.

Firefox also has the ability to reopen closed tabs even without having to enable browsing history so you don’t need the “Undo Close Tab” extension.
