Consent-o-matic !
=> More informations about this toot | More toots from Navigator@jlai.lu
That’s the same as Ublock Origin - Anoyances list, you don’t need a separate addon for that. Ublock Origin->Settings->External Filters->Tick all

Consent-o-Matic actually declines the cookies but that just hides the banner
=> More informations about this toot | More toots from brb@sh.itjust.works
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.

Dark Reader. Especially late at night white page background just burns out my retinas, no idea how I ever managed before.
=> More informations about this toot | More toots from golli@lemm.ee
It seems to do weird things to some websites where for me it also leaves text dark/black
=> More informations about this toot | More toots from j4yt33@feddit.org
Sometimes it doesn’t work, especially when it is a particularly weird colour palette, but it gets it right most of the time. In that case it does have the options to make some adjustments or just turn it of for that particular site.

I use that one on Android, since I have a OLED screen and it seems to do wonders for my battery life.

Did you try to reduce the brightness of your monitor?
=> More informations about this toot | More toots from elmicha@feddit.org
That isn’t the same thing…
=> More informations about this toot | More toots from Estebiu@lemmy.dbzer0.com
Sadly, even at the lowest brightness setting, with “extra dim” enabled, and the most intense blue blocking filter my phone will allow, most light colored backgrounds still illuminate the hell out of the room.

for some reason Dark Reader slows down page loading by a lot for me, especially on slow connections
=> More informations about this toot | More toots from powermaker450@discuss.tchncs.de
Yeah, in the default settings it analyzes the CSS which will make page load appear slower. It has other options you might consider but I only have it enabled at night when I’m drowsy. (The slow page loads help slow my brain down lol.)

Can it auto detect when a website supports dark theme? Otherwise I noticed that it will ruin the colors of sites already in dark theme
=> More informations about this toot | More toots from Xylight@lemm.ee
There’s an option in settings, although it isn’t perfect.

Ah, I gotta thank Chrome for finally making me do the change from it to Firefox when they dropped the flag for switching the web page to dark mode (when dark mode is triggered) in Android mobile… Since that moment I haven’t looked back, and it seems like there is no reason to do so.

I use these ones frequently:
=> More informations about this toot | More toots from infeeeee@lemm.ee
Tab Snooze - allows you to close a tab and have it reappear at a chosen time later
Media URL Timestamper - automatically inserts the current timestamp of the YouTube/Twitch video you’re watching and updates it in the history in case you accidentally close/navigate away from the page or go to a different time in the video
Feedbro - RSS reader with filtering capabilities
Redirector - auto-redirect specific URLs (for example, changing a YouTube Shorts url into a regular one, or changing Reddit links to always go to Old Reddit)
Undo Close Tab Button - allows you to restore recently closed tabs including the tab’s history in the back button (max amount = browser.sessionstore.max_tabs_undo)
Violentmonkey - using userscripts that allow you to change things on websites.
YouTube Comment Reader - allows you to search through the comments of a video (by clicking on the addon in the Extension menu and then clicking on the “YouTube Comment Reader” at the top or the “X Comments” at the bottom of the tooltip)
Page Shadow - allows you to use dark and light themes on sites that don’t have the option to change it.
And if you’re like me and you find that some YT videos feel too slow but 1.25x is too fast, then you can use Enhancer for YouTube’s “Playback speed” feature to have smaller speed steps. Then you can hold ctrl and use the scrollwheel (while over the video) to change the video’s speed by the amount you chose (I use 0.05 speed variation, mostly changing to 1.05x or 1.10x)

Undo close tab is already a feature in most browsers. Ctrl shift t (or cmd shift t).
=> More informations about this toot | More toots from JackbyDev@programming.dev
It adds a list of the most recently closed tabs to the tab context menu
=> More informations about this toot | More toots from 001Guy001@lemm.ee
Fair enough. I thought this was already a feature too but I don’t see it. Very cool, thank you for sharing!
=> More informations about this toot | More toots from JackbyDev@programming.dev
Must haves IMHO:
uBlock Origin
Consent-o-Matic
Making life easier:
SponsorBlock
Enhancer for YouTube

For me, it’s many of the ones people have already said, plus:
=> More informations about this toot | More toots from ambitiousslab@lemmy.ml
Does privacy redirect automatically know if the instance is healthy? Or does it sometimes redirect you to a invidious or nitter or libreddit instance that’s broken?
Because if this thing is health-aware, the. It would save me so much time.
=> More informations about this toot | More toots from delirious_owl@discuss.online
Unfortunately, I think it just picks randomly. I have had times where it has redirected me to an instance that is down. That said, if you have an instance you know is stable, it does give you a drop-down to always redirect to a specific one.
=> More informations about this toot | More toots from ambitiousslab@lemmy.ml
Privacy redirect is unmaintained, not updated for 3 years, switch to LibRedirect
=> More informations about this toot | More toots from infeeeee@lemm.ee
Thank you for taking the time to write this, LibRedirect is so much better!

uBlock Origin and DarkReader
Recently got into using RSS feeds, so RSSHub Radar was quite useful
Search by Image is good too
=> More informations about this toot | More toots from Achyu@lemmy.sdf.org
Gesturefy
It brings the mouse gesture functionality known from Opera to Firefox.

Highlight or Hide Search Engine Results
i still use google, so being able to filter out the blogspam and fandom slop is a godsend for usability
=> More informations about this toot | More toots from hypnicjerk@lemmy.world
The usual +
I think it’s more performant and lightweight than dark reader. So I get more screentime.
=> More informations about this toot | More toots from pop@lemmy.ml
Chameleon. My user agent changes every 30 seconds. Makes attempts to track me basically useless.
=> More informations about this toot | More toots from delirious_owl@discuss.online
Are you passing CloudFlare captchas with that? I’m using a VPN and whenever I hit a CloudFlare captcha with a modified user agent, it doesn’t let me pass.
=> More informations about this toot | More toots from treasure@feddit.org
Sometimes. It depends if the admin misconfigured their cloudflare.
I dont have issues logging into cloudflare’s website itself with this setup. I have had to email many website admins to let them know that they have a broken cloudflare config.

Changing your user agent will not stop you being tracked. Browser fingerprinting can work with heaps of different signals, and is very difficult to block.
=> More informations about this toot | More toots from EvenOdds@lemm.ee
It means I’m being tracked for 30 seconds. So basically useless tracking.

That website is marketing bullshit. It doesn’t tell you if you fingerprint “ID” is unique. If can just spit out the same fingerprint for millions of users, and it looks impressive but its totally worthless as a fingerprint.
Try again with some service that isn’t trying to sell you their product

Very well, try this onde instead: www.amiunique.org/fingerprint

Your extension might make you MORE finger-printable.
github.com/…/3.3-Overrides-[To-RFP-or-Not]#-finge…
If you’re actually interested in reducing your fingerprint you should read the arkenfox guide which leverages built in features from firefox. You’ll see very quickly that if someone wants to fingerprint you it’s trivial and there’s little you can do short of TOR.
=> More informations about this toot | More toots from Album@lemmy.ca
Again, they can fingerprint me. Buy their fingerprint is useless because it constantly changes.
=> More informations about this toot | More toots from delirious_owl@discuss.online
You misunderstand. They’re calculating a fingerprint that identifies you across sessions despite you changing up a bunch of values on your browser with an extension because that’s all highly detectable. They know it’s junk data they don’t use it. It actually is worse because you stop blending in with the crowd.
You’re better off blending in then trying to look unique with every visit. The latter is a flawed concept.
Read the arkenfox guide they get into it. Most extensions just reduce your ability to blend in to the crowd and thus should be avoided.

They don’t. I’m telling you they don’t. When I disable my ad blocker, the ads I see are not relevant to me. Many times they’re not even in a language that I can speak.
They are not tracking me between sessions. Its obvious.
What you’re saying makes sense, and its why Tor does what it does. But in practice, this works too.

Doesn’t that fuck up logins and stuff?
=> More informations about this toot | More toots from JackbyDev@programming.dev
Nope
=> More informations about this toot | More toots from delirious_owl@discuss.online
I would imagine many services would think you’re hijacking the session or something.
=> More informations about this toot | More toots from JackbyDev@programming.dev
No, that would he a very dumb system. Because it would false positive every time someone changed their user agent, which is a common defense tactic in today’s threat landscape.
You don’t want to ban someone for protecting themselves. But in sure there are dumb execs who have thought this was a good idea until someone on the self team slapped them and said “no”

These are all the extension I have installed and they are all my favourite tbh. I also have Firefox set to use strongest protection.

I thought you could only select from a pre-defined list of addons in Firefox mobile?
=> More informations about this toot | More toots from NathanUp@lemmy.ml
Not anymore, if you use desktop website of addons.mozilla.org, you can install almost anything.

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.

Not trying to hijack this post but does anyone know of an add-on that syncs your bookmarks toolbar? Its the only thing holding me back from being fully on librewolf.
