SimpleTabGroups - organize your tabs
uBlock Origin - adblocker
Prvacy Badger - block trackers
I still don’t care about cookies - remove cookie prompts
Stylus - lets you create your own css based on url
Canvss Blocker - prevents finger printing but can break websites.I still don’t care about cookies is a must have, it is so nice to never have to click those prompts again.
A password manager is also nice. I recommend keepassxc and it’s addon
Does the cookies add-on refuse them or accept them?
Default action is to refuse all. You can whitelist sites/pages you want to keep.
+1 for privacy badger
Privacy Badger is kinda useless since ublock origin already blocks trackers. Same with canvas blocker if privacy.resistFingerprinting is enabled in about:config
You are probably right, but as long as my browsing works, it could not hurt.

Double upvote for bitwarden, since OP is switched browser, they defenetly need move all their passwords. No need to use built in Firefox manager. Don’t forget to use password export from Chrome.
Used to use lastpass before they became paid. I haven’t even remembered that until I read your comment. Bitwarden is great.
Also browser password manager couldn’t be more unsafe…
honestly it’s fine if you’re generating different passwords for every service and you’re just storing the less important ones there for convenience.
Way too easy to get malware and it scans your whole pc for easy to aquire passwords.
If it’s safely encrypted, go for it but I suspect it isnt.
ah nice I was wondering how to do that. got a lot of passwords in chrome
dark reader looks very useful, thanks!!
DeArrow for unsensationalizing YouTube titles and thumbnails
What’s the point if having NoScript AND uBlockOrigin? ubo does everything noscript does, but better

Firefox Multi-Account Containers
It does have some rather specific use cases but if you need it it’s amazing. Way better than chrome profiles imo
this!
ublock origin with the annoyance list activated.
dark reader. It’s not perfect but I get most sites in a usable dark mode.
That’s mostly it.
In my testing, dark reader made sites load much slower. Anyone else notice this?
This is my experience as well. Noticable slowdown after installing it. But IMO, it’s still worth it.
Nope, still fast on my machines
it can make my google drive stuff take a couple extra seconds to realize whats happening
Dark Reader is entirely client side, so it shouldn’t affect load times.
Render times may increase significantly though depending on cpu((/gpu?).
Yes, I suppose if their computer is a decade or two old, it might have an impact on their render times.
Same, all you really need. Maybe also password manager extensions for the added phishing protection
Yeah, I didn’t include my Enpass extension, as it’s more like a plug-in.
I also excluded TamperMonkey because I solely use it to sell my Steam cards and become filthy rich. Already 34 cents into my first million.
And last but not least: an extension that auto-upvotes YT videos from my subscribed channels because I’m too lazy to do it manually and YT can’t be bothered to assign a key to it.
In my experience enabling some of the annoyance lists broke several websites and it took a while to realise why. I do use the cookie consent list but no longer use any annoyance lists.
Sponsorblock for YouTube.
Javascript disabler to get around many paywalls.
ublock was already mentioned couple of times. Additionally this one: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/cookie-autodelete/
If you are going to auto delete cookies then I suggest consent-o-matic to auto deny cookie popups.
Oh right, there is this one is also currently installed, but hidden and never interacted with.
https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/istilldontcareaboutcookies/
Same functionality.
In most cases, the add-on just blocks or hides cookie related pop-ups. When it’s needed for the website to work properly, it will automatically accept the cookie policy for you (sometimes it will accept all and sometimes only necessary cookie categories, depending on what’s easier to do). It doesn’t delete cookies.
Not to keen on it accepting the cookies on my behalf, the point is to not accept the cookie. Consent-o-matic will actively deny the requests.

also look at sponsorblock for YT
it skippes segments of videos where the creator is taking about sponsored content directly in the vid
Lemmy Instance Assistant It does things like if someone links a post and the link takes you to the post on another instance, it adds a button to show the post on your home instance. You can also right click on a page (say, an article on a news site) or image and choose the option to share it on lemmy, which creates a new post. It also has stuff to help you when you click a link to a community but the community is not federated to your server, or you can go to the list of communities on another instance and it will have links to take you to that community on your home instance. That sort of thing. Basically the beginnings of a RES for lemmy.
I also like Dictionary Anywhere, which lets you double click on a word to get a definition, a bit like the one Google one for Chrome.
There are also various container extensions such as a Facebook or Google one, that isolates those sites to attempt to prevent that activity being associated with your activity on other sites. It can be a little annoying to get used to but I use them. The annoying thing is that when you click say a google site from a search result on duckduckgo, it closes the duckduckgo tab and opens the site in a google container, but then you can’t click back to go back to the search results.
The general container tabs extension is good too. It keeps separate cookies per container. So say if you have 3 different microsoft accounts, you can create different containers. Then you can open a new tab in a specific container and it will remember the account you logged into last time in that specific container, but doesn’t affect other containers or tabs not in a container.

It’s only beginning, it has nowhere near the features of RES, and mainly it helps with issues related to lemmy federation. But if there’s something you want, the dev is pretty open to new feature suggestions.
RES shouldn’t really be needed for Lemmy - it’s better to just directly upstream the changes, since it’s open source.
thanks!!
Something not so far mentioned is Tree Style Tab.
If you habitually have a lot of tabs open, you’ll probably know how annoying it is finding things when each page title has been condensed down to 4-5 characters. On widescreen displays (especially 16:9), vertical pixels are also a lot more precious, while horizontal ones are plentiful.
For me (3840×2160 display, 200% scale), its vertical tab sidebar fits about 30 tabs before needing a scrollbar, and you get a full width title for each and every one.
It can be a bit of an adjustment at first, but I’ve been using this since the pre-WebExtensions days (since around Firefox 4.0), it’s definitely one of my must-haves.
Can’t recommend TreeStyleTabs enough!
Not only does it trade off precious vertical space for plentiful horizontal space, but also the tabs get organized hierarchical, so when searching and opening multiple tabs , the tabs get grouped naturally
This changed my habitual way of working with browsers for the better, can’t recommend it enough. I’m using Sidebery though, not sure of the differences, but I really like its snapshot feature.
If you like Tree Style Tabs I’d also recommend trying Sideberry. Does the same thing but has some additional functionality.
Foxy gestures is an enormous reason why I could never swap off Firefox in the first place
ublock origin, noscript
i tried noscript and I didnt like having to manually authorize each site. it looks like it’d be useful in some situations
I never cared for it. Broke a lot of sites and I never found it helpful.
NoScript and umatrix are a pain when starting out. But once they are working can change your whole view of the web. Umatrix even has setting cloud saves so if you move PCs or reset in some way you don’t lose an that work.
Bypass Paywalls Clean is fantastic, need to install from xpi though
lol that installation was crazy simple! thanks!!
Also any sort of privacy redirector, specifically to go to nitter instead of xitter, is a must have
I use the following addons:
- Media Bias/Fact Check
- Shinigami Eyes
- Search by Image
- Purple Private Windows

thanks! twp looks interesting!
My pleasure.
I even feel like TWP works better then the now native Firefox translation feature solely due to it allowing to translate any page by either selecting text and right clicking or by clicking on the icon in the adress bar.
Firefox has the button as well but TWP let’s you choose the translation service (I believe it’s google, deepl and 1 or 2 other services)
Firefox now has it’s own inbuilt local translator. None of your information is sent collected and translation is very good.
