A place to discuss the news and latest developments on the open-source browser Firefox
I don't see the value in using an extension just to automatically watch YouTube in HD. Maybe 10 years ago, but now we got Newpipe.
Also Google Search has gone downhill for quite some time now. Why should I install an extension that reverts the enshittification Google has deliberately created?
DDG, Qwant, searXNG maybe even Brave or Kagi are better options. If you like Google Search so much, at least use Startpage.
@minimalfootprint @AnActOfCreation is #newpipe available as a #firefox desktop extension?
No, it's an android app.
I don't like to install an app for every service or product, but newpipe adds so much value, that it's a no-brainer for me.
Unfortunately, there are some big issues with Kagi and Brave (https://spyware.neocities.org/articles/brave)
I’ve tried searXNG but I’ve never been able to get great search results. Maybe I need to spend some more time setting it up or something??
I’ve used DDG and Kagi previously and don’t have any complaints. Startpage has also been pretty decent for myself.
It is a metasearch engine, so you can tweak the sources of the results, default language, etc. I personally use all the default plus some more engines and all languages, then reduce results if I can't find useful information. It has made searches easier for me, since you can find all types of information with just one click (Search | Images | Files | Academic | etc.) and multiple languages, but it can be not so welcoming to people that want simple searches.
Brave Search is so good!
Firefox Relay is open source though, here's the source code: https://github.com/mozilla/fx-private-relay-add-on/
And for the server: https://github.com/mozilla/fx-private-relay/
Also:
While there may not be as many options as for Chromium-based browsers
Many Chromium-based browsers offer no extensions on Android at all?
Multi-Account Containers and Sidebar Tabs for me. Gotta keep those (work) sessions secure and easy to find.
On Android?
Much rather have addy.io than Firefox Relay. I used the beta here in the UK and moved on.
Don't know what oldlander is; directs to old.reddit?
Answered my own question: Yes. I've put the various anti Reddit spam in ublock so not really necessary.
Pretty much any email masking tool that gives you more than 5 domains for free, especially considering several do this for free (Addy, DDG, Ironvest).
It seems like YouTube High Definition has stopped working for me lately. Can't seem to be able to open a settings page either.
