uBlock Origin
Decentraleyes
Consent-o-matic
These are essential to me. Consent o matic automatically fills out cookie pop-ups by opting out of everything for you. Some of these cookie things take a while to process which shows how devious they are set up
just installed darkReader, my retinas are thanking me
I love these types of posts. From the outset they seem mundane, but they are discussion provoking and I’m able to learn of new things at the same time.
My list (Firefox) 🙃
- Absolute Enable Right Click & Copy
- Bitwarden
- Don’t Fuck With Paste
- I still don’t care about cookies
- SponsorBlock
- uBlock Origin
Some of you have a LOT of addons, jeez.
Edit: Updated to use the /still/ don’t care about cookies addon. Thanks @stepan@lemmy.fmhy.ml
Don’t Fuck With Paste
You don’t need an addon for this one. Search about:config for dom.event.clipboardevents.enabled and double click on the key (set it to false). It should take care of that for you.
Edit: Typo
Wasn’t I don’t care about cookies acquired by Avast or something? I don’t exactly remember why, but in response to something like that, community edition I still don’t care about cookies was created and I’m using it since then.
Good to know, I’ll check that out thanks!
Looking at the comments, interest in privacy and adblocking seem high. But the actual addons suggested here are often redundant or even worse, make you easier to track. Instead, take a look at the Arkenfox wiki, which is more or less the gold standard for browser privacy. Both LibreWolf and Mullvad Browser, practically the most privacy/anonymity oriented browsers out there, right behind Tor, either rely on it or stick very closely to it.
I highly recommend reading the entire wiki from the start. You dont have to do everything it says, obviously, but even if you dont do anything it will give you a better understanding of browser privacy. And lastly, do not use Chrome or any chromium based browser if you care about privacy and a free and open internet. Even if you only use a chromium based browser, you help increase googles monopoly.An extra thumbs up for mullvad vpn from me. It’s a bit more costly than the mainstream ones but you don’t have to subscribe to any plan. Just pay month by month, absolutely no personal data needed.
Thank you 00 and crius for introducing Mullvad. Been looking for a VPN that doesn’t lock you into any subscription plans.
Mullvad VPN is great! Though I was talking about the Mullvad Browser (which is great as well and integrates well with their VPN service).
Millenials to Snake People.
This is incredible, I have to try it. As a cloud to butt user I want to get a combo somewhere
I don’t see any love for sidebery here, sadge
- uBlock Origin
- Privacy Badger
- HTTPS Everywhere
- Firefox Relay
- NoScript (off 99% of the time since it’s not really needed)
- RES (until reddit does some stupid shit and bans it or something so I can finally quit it entirely)
- TinEye Reverse Image Search
That’s basically it. But after reading a few comments I added:
- Consent-o-matic
- Decentraleyes
- Bitwarden
- Sponser Block
- LibRedirect
- Decentraleyes
- Cookie Block
- NoScript
- UntrackUrls
- Firefox Containers
- TOS;DR
- uBlock Origin
- Bypass Paywalls Plus
- I don’t care about Cookies
- Cookie AutoDelete
The Cookie addons work wonderfully together. IDCAC just accepts every cookie banner automatically, AutoDelete removes them after the tab was closed.
- Audio Only for YouTube™
- Better Twitch Adblock
- BetterTTV
- Channel Blocker
- Dark Reader Gumbo: Twitch Companion
- HTTPS Everywhere
- LeechBlock NG
- MAL-Sync
- NoScript
- Return YouTube Dislike
- ScrewMyCode: Pitch control for YouTube
- Truffle
- uBlock Origin
- Unhook - Remove YouTube Recommended Videos
- Violentmonkey
Not much myself to be honest.
- uBlock Origin, to make the web a bearable experience
- Yomichan for learning Japanese
And that’s it. I don’t really need much more.
from https://beehaw.org/comment/80030:
uBO, of course. note: you guys don’t need ClearURLs with this list added.
LibRedirect for automatically opening Youtube, Twitter, TikTok etc. links in their privacy-focused front-ends. I just make sure to disable all the instances by esmailelbob since he’s a little homophobic shithead
Buster for automatic captcha solving
Consent-O-Matic automatically clicks through cookies banner to deny all the cookies that aren’t necessary, which I like better than just hiding the cookie banner
Redirect AMP to HTML because fuck AMP and fuck Googlealso make sure to check the “do not bother” list here: https://github.com/arkenfox/user.js/wiki/4.1-Extensions
Holy shit. I admire the organisation and love the documentation, but holy addon, batman! thats a lot!
I use Firefox and the arkenfox user.js, which is not an extension, but helps with privacy. For the extensions, though, they are as follows:
- uBlock Origin // on medium mode (Check out what blocking modes are if you don’t know them already)
- LibRedirect // to redirect to more privacy respecting alternatives
- Skip Redirect // for increased privacy in terms of redirects
- Smart Referer // on strict mode. I use this as I have set network.http.referer.XOriginPolicy to 0 as 2 was a little too strict for me
I think more extensions than these would probably hurt my setup. I have followed the advice from the arkenfox wiki. Check it out if you want to look into a more private and secure Firefox configuration. Also feel free to criticize or ask questions about my setup :)
I used to have dozens of them, now only few:
- uBlock
- Violentmonkey
- FeedBro
- Bitwarden
- Vimium
- Sponsorblock
- Return Youtube Dislike
- DeArrow (installed today)
Highly recommend Vimium in particular. Avoids repeat movements of switching between keyboard and mouse.
Yeah I’ve found Vimium incredibly useful. Started getting some pain in my hands and Vimium helped out by reducing my trackpad use on my laptop.
