I really enjoy Firefox on Android as I can install a bunch of extensions and I find those extensions game changer, especially on the mobile.
One of my favorites are
- Libredirect - literally one of my favorite ones. Redirects popular sites to privacy focused frontends, like YouTube to Invidious, etc.
- uBlock Origin - I guess everyone knows this one
- Privacy Badger - blocks trackers
- Ghostery - blocks trackers, ads, scripts, etc.
What extensions do you guys use?
Indie wiki buddy. Fandom often times comes on top for most searches, but many games actually have their official wikis elsewhere. This extension hides fandom links for unofficial fandom wikis.
Since it’s not mentioned before, check out DeArrow. It makes YouTube bearable.
-
Ublock Origin: No brainer. You can block just about every intrusive component of the modern internet with just this.
-
Stylus: Write CSS themes for websites
-
User-Agent Manager: For compatibility purposes, switch your user-agent to chromium on some websites
-
Libredirect
-
ClearURLs: Copy links without tracking or affiliation
-
Dark Reader: Dark mode everywhere
-
Temporary Containers: Provides some nifty shortcuts and features for creating temporary containers
I remember using “Stylish” back in the day, but there was some changing of ownership and data being harvested & sold.
But I guess this is fork of it?
-
The usual +
- Stylus with a global dark user style
I think it’s more performant and lightweight than dark reader. So I get more screentime.
- uBlock
- Privacy Badger
- Language tools (spell checker)
- Mal-Sync (automatically updates Anime & Manga progress with MAL, AniList, Kitsu etc. Supports Netflix, Prime and some high seas website)
Haven’t seen anyone mention Decentraleyes yet. Serves CDN assets locally to avoid CDNs as a vector for tracking or fingerprinting.
is it still works on even of many react, nextjs, vue, angular based website? I felt less and less website use CDN scripts…
Consent-o-matic !
That’s the same as Ublock Origin - Anoyances list, you don’t need a separate addon for that.
Ublock Origin -> Settings -> External Filters -> Annoyances -> Tick all
Consent-o-Matic actually declines the cookies but that just hides the banner
I need to try consent I magic then because at least one website has had the banner blocked but didn’t let me move the screen or anything.
Use uBlock Origin’s wiki / rules for this instead. Reduces an add-on and achieves the same/better results!
How does it work? I added the Adguard filter Not doesn’t seem to work like cleanurls
Example searching something on Amazon
Cleanurls
https://www.amazon.com/PlayStation-PS5-Console-Ragnarök-Bundle-5/dp/B0BHC395WW
Ublock
Should be detailed here: https://github.com/gorhill/uBlock/wiki/Static-filter-syntax#removeparam
Just gonna keep cleanurls, it’s better and not so complicated
Must haves IMHO:
uBlock Origin Consent-o-Matic
Making life easier:
SponsorBlock Enhancer for YouTube DarkReader Multi Account Containers
I use these ones frequently:
- Quick Currency Converter - I’m interested in a better currency converter, its UI is not nice, but otherwise usable, and I couldn’t find a better one
- Open Page in Private Window - Adds button to rightclick menu
- Want My RSS - RSS button in the url bar
- Viewhance - better image viewer, zoom with scroll wheel, etc
- TWP - Translate Web Pages - Like the built in translator, but online only, works with more languages, translate selection in rightclick menu
- PersistentPin - I don’t know why FF forgets pinned pages, but this solves that
Some of my picks to add to all other comments
- Gesturefy: Mouse gesture addon. It can also run custom javascript. For example I have a script that makes copying text, links, buttons easier.
- Imagus mod: Hover zoom addon with up-to-date sieves that actually work. The sieve team is quite good.
- BetterViewer: Image viewer although some buttons don’t work on firefox.
- Fastforward: circumvents annoying link shorteners
- Distill: Monitor webpage or feed for changes
I also have many ***monkey and stylus scripts.
Sorry to necro, but have you found/made a working Imagus sieve for Lemmy? I’ve been trying without luck for months.
Sorry I don’t have one but I’m guessing it wouldn’t be very simple as there are so many lemmy websites.
I may be biased, but I like Lemmy Infinite Scroller. It started out as a 20 minute project just as a proof of concept and then evolved into me trying to make an infinite scroller that works really well. It works well, I can’t recall if I made it open-source but I didn’t obfuscate the code or anything like that so it’s practically open-source anyway even if I didn’t make a repo for it. I just published the manifest v3 update of it last week so it’s pretty futureproof too.
Other obvious extensions are uBlock Origin, uMatrix, and surprisingly one called Dark Background and Light Text (though Dark Reader is also cool too).
Not on mobile but on desktop Firefox Multi-Account Containers paired with Temporary Containers is a funcking godsend. Especially so when I’m doing web dev work.
Other that that uBlock is pretty high on the list as usuall.Cloud to butt
I’ve been using it for such a long time. It’s only on my PC. I don’t use my PC for much anymore, so when I see the word “butt” when it should say “cloud,” I get a little chuckle.
- Sponsorblock
- uBlock Origin
- I still don’t care about cookies
- Augmented Steam
- BetterTTV
- YouTube Shorts Redirect
- Gumbo
- Bitwarden
These are all the extension I have installed and they are all my favourite tbh. I also have Firefox set to use strongest protection.
