- Checker Plus for Gmail - Great way for me to see incoming emails in multiple inboxes, and mark as read/unread or respond
- Open With - quickly open a webpage in another browser
- SponsorBlock for YouTube - skips ads and sponsor segments in YouTube videos
- uBlock Origin - The best adblocker
- Video Speed Controller - Allows you to change the speed of a video, outside the normally allowed range (some slower videos are much better at 3x)
- Snap Links - Lets you draw a rectangle and opens all links inside. Great for checking out a list of links, like the links in this comment, for example
I still don’t care about cookies
Okay but what extensions do you use? /s
That one it is called “I still don’t care about cookies”, also uBlock origin…
I recently learnt that it just auto accepts them so I stopped using, ublock has settings to actually block cookies which seems to work well, more tricky to enable though.
Yeah, I never got that to work properly so I’ve been using Hush on mobile and I Still Don’t Care About Cookies (grudgingly).
Oh, I didn’t knew that…
You can try Consent-O-Matic, which you can configure to reject cookies.
Anyone here use AdNauseam?
I do! Though I’m not sure how well it works since I also use uBlock and have a Pihole on my network lol
Either use AdNauseam or Ublock origin, not both at the same time. PiHole is fine tho.
Ublock origin ofc
NoScript, uBlock Origins, Privacy Badger, HTTPS Everywhere
I used NoScript for over a year until I gave up the insanity. Having to spend time whitelisting scripts on every site was way too much work and some stuff was just way harder to do, like banking and buying stuff.
Now I just blacklist a few scripts (like analytics) using unlock origin instead.
uBlock Origin hard mode is great
I understand the struggle. I just got used to deal with it, I guess.
Wouldn’t want to miss it tho. Having to deal with a non-NoScripted-Internet is quite a no-go for me by now. (as ridiculous are it sounds)
I absolutely love Tree Style Tabs. I usually have a ton of tabs open (middle mouse click is my best friend) and that helps me keep it all organized, and quickly close all the ones I don’t need anymore. I also did a change in the profile settings for Firefox to get rid of the normal tabs so now I only have the tree ones. (I don’t really remember how I did that though, it was ages ago and involved editing some files in appdata)
It involves editing the user chrome CSS or whatever it’s called.
In addition to Tree Style Tabs, I use Tree Style Tab Mouse Wheel which eases navigation and Simple Tab Groups which also helps with organising the browsing sessions.
- uBlock Origin
- DarkReader
- SiteDelta Watch
- Show QRCode
- Copy Tabs
- Copy Link Extras
- Select Same Origin Tabs
- Open in Temp Container
- more
😄Those contributions are something to brag about.
Thanks, most are on the smaller side, but can be quite useful nontheless.
Vimium-C.
Well, it goes right after UBlock Origin, which was mentioned many times already.
Did you try Tridactyl for vim like browsing? Is Vimium C better?
Nope, when I was choosing an extension I guess many people told me that tridactyl is a bit buggy and not polished enough.
That was many years ago, I’m not sure what is the situation now.
- Reopen closed Tabs
I often want to reopen a tab i recently closed, so this is very handy for me.
- Languagetool
On the fly rule-based Spelling check. Works very good and in many languages. And the best: It’s Open Source.
- Facebook-, Google- and Microsoftcontainer
Uses the Firefox Tab-Container Fwature, to lock those companies in Tab-Groups just with themselves. I don’t use Tab-Groups aside of that, so it comes in handy.
-
Firefox Translate
-
(Not really an extention, but still nice) Firefox Gnome Theme, for my personal machines and Firefox UI Fix for the machines at work to make Firefox look more at home on Linux and Windows.
Reopen closed Tabs
What’s wrong with the built in shortcut of ctrl+alt+t?
People want to reopen the 3rd or 4th without opening the others.
This. Sometimes i want to reopen the last closed tabs. And generally, i use the mouse to do most things, i’m not used to most shortcuts.
Some people want different things
I see a lot of the same addons here, as one would reasonably expect, but I’m surprised there’s been no mention of uMatrix. Using uMatrix and denying most elements by default, you can manually allow scripts, media, etc. per domain and save those rules for pages you go to often. It gives you more granular control than simply choosing to allow/deny all third-party scripts, and you can see exactly what’s going on under the hood.
I used uMatrix for many years, that is until it was retired. Raymond Hill no longer maintains/updates the addon and the github was archived in July 2021. There are some forks but none appear to be in active development. Just be aware the version of uMatrix on addons.mozilla.org is now 2 years old and may not be blocking everything it claims to be.
uBlock Origin, Tridactyl, and Translate Web Pages.
User Agent Spoofer whenever I need it.

ads are really annoying arent they. What do you use on ur mobile device, the experience is quite limited there(hate those redirects to ad sites when you try to click any thing)
I use Firefox, which supports uBlock Origin as well.
Mull (a firefox privacy fork you can find on fdroid) plus ublock origin
I use:
- uBlock origin (of course) (also on my phone)
- Web archives (also on my phone)
- ClearURLs (also on my phone)
- Consent-O-Matic

- User-Agent Switcher and Manager
- Disable WebRTC
And probably a few more I don’t remember.
Lord almighty my 8gb ram could never handle that
I see some of these have already been mentioned, but they do deserve repeating;
- µBlock Origin - blocks ads, and does it well.
- Privacy Badger - blocks trackers, rewrites some tracking URLs, etc.
- Multi-Account Containers - for those places where you want to keep tabs separate, giving each container its own cookies/session/etc.
- Consent-O-Matic - automatically handles a lot of pages that shove annoying (and often technically GDPR-illegal due to lacking a quick “reject all” button) consent forms in your face.
- Imagus - shows linked images on hover, including support for galleries and scrolling through all the images contained.
There was an imagus fork which is actively maintained
Wow, Consent-O-Matic sounds super interesting. I’m definitely going to give this one a try
Does consent-o-matic also rejects them or just accepts them?
@Daefsdeda @ace you can choose what kind of cookies to accept and reject in the extension’s settings.
Thanks that is amazing
I use I don’t care about cookies, I wonder how different it is from consent-o-matic
FYI- I was about to install “I don’t care about cookies” when I noticed all the 1 star reviews. People saying its been purchased by Avast and is now data mining.
“I still don’t care about cookies” is a community fork, does the same thing but isn’t owned by a big company.
Go damn it, why corporations are always ruining good things.
Thank you for the information
Decentraleyes, ublock origin, consent-o-matic
