A nice place to discuss rumors, happenings, innovations, and challenges in the technology sphere. We also welcome discussions on the intersections of technology and society. If it’s technological news or discussion of technology, it probably belongs here.

Remember the overriding ethos on Beehaw: Be(e) Nice. Each user you encounter here is a person, and should be treated with kindness (even if they’re wrong, or use a Linux distro you don’t like). Personal attacks will not be tolerated.

  • uBlock Origin
  • NoScript
  • Bitwarden

I previously used Privacy Badger, but I block basically everything with NoScript anyway, so it was redundant. I also used HTTPS Everywhere but you can enable that in most (all?) browsers now anyway, so you don't need an extension any longer (the highest form of success for an extension). I also previously used LastPass, but I got out before they had their security issues, and importantly changed every password when I transitioned. On work computer I have the 1password extension.

NoScript is redundant when using uBlock Origin in advanced mode as well.

  • uBlock Origin

Important. I've added the Bypass Paywalls-filter as well, which makes browsing a lot more pleasant.

  • SponsorBlock

I will not watch ads, not even one.

  • I still don't care about cookies

This removes most of the annoyance of cookie banners and consent dialogs

  • Redirect AMP to HTML

AMP sucks, rather not even see it

  • Libredirect

A recent favorite - I started using this as Twitter on web was becoming increasingly unusable, and Nitter is a fine alternative. Now I use it for Twitter, TikTok, Imgur, Medium and Reddit.

-uBlock Origin

-Sponsorblock

-Unhook for youtube

-unpinterested

-panicbutton

Also adguard dns filtering on my mobile devices. Would highly recommend panicbutton as a quick way to set a task aside without opening a new window and unhook to filter out the trash YouTube is shoveling onto the home page

[–] Zols@lemmy.one 2 points 2 years ago

I basically only use: Ublock origin Privacy badger I don’t care about cookies Dark reader Decentralizes And some web scraping tool forgot the name

UBlock Origin

Decentraleyes

Brave:

I dont use HTTPS Everywhere anymore because its included in Firefox and Brave!

Edit: I only use Brave to do my school homework because firefox messes with the website we use sometimes.

I use "Tab Stash". Usually easier for me to navigate and manage than bookmarks, and keeps my browsers uncluttered.

[–] l4sgc 2 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago) (3 children)

I have these extensions pinned:

  • uBlock Origin
  • Firshot (takes screenshots of website with scrolling)
  • Google Translate
  • Wolfram Alpha
  • Tampermonkey (let's me write/add scripts to websites)
  • Just a clock (I hide my windows startbar so having a little clock always displayed is nice)

And my remaining extensions are:

  • Alternate Player for Twitch.tv
  • BetterTTV
  • Chrome Remote Desktop
  • Confetti Snippets (adds copy button to code on Stack Overflow)
  • DeArrow (Crowdsourced titles and thumbnails to remove clickbait from YouTube)
  • Enhanced Steam
  • Google Docs Offline
  • ~~HTTPS Everywhere (changes http links to https)~~
  • JSONVue (formats and makes json collapsible)
  • Lighthouse (tests website performance)
  • Netflix Extended
  • Reddit Enhancement Suite
  • Refined Prime Video
  • Resource Override (let's me replace requested web resources with local versions of those files)
  • Return YouTube Dislikes
  • Save All Resources
  • ShareX
  • SponsorBlock
  • SteamDB
  • Tab to Window/Popup (adds keyboard shortcuts to between normal browser windows and the popup windows that don't waste space with a title bar, useful for vertically split window layouts)
  • uBlacklist (block sites from Google search results)
  • View Image (returns view image option to Google Images)
  • WAVE Evaluation Tool (tests website accessibility)

You can force https on browser settings nowadays, at least for firefox.

https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/https-only-prefs

[–] l4sgc 1 points 2 years ago

Oh now I see that it's built into chrome now as well; thanks for the info it's always nice to uninstall something that's no longer needed.

Simple Tab Groups helps me alot for organizing windows and tabs for certain topics

FediFollow is great for following people on other instances without much copy/paste work

[–] exscape@kbin.social 1 points 2 years ago (1 children)

More than I feel makes sense to post TBH. But a few important ones (for Firefox):

uBlock Origin
Sidebery to get my tabs in a vertical tree; if you often have more than 10-15 tabs I really recommend this!
Bitwarden (password manager)
Checker Plus for Gmail + Checker Plus for Google Calendar, easy-access email/calendar in a small window, I very rarely actually go to gmail.com
Return YouTube Dislike
Tampermonkey for userscripts on Kbin
Video Speed Controller, I use numpad +/- to increase/decrease speed by 0.25x, works basically everywhere including YouTube

  • Bitwarden - Password manager
  • Dark Reader - Dark mode everywhere
  • FakeSpot - spotting fake amazon reviews, etc
  • OneTab - because otherwise I have hundreds of tabs open. At least this lets me pretend at organization.
  • RSS Subscription Extension - get RSS urls with one click.
  • Vimium - Vim controls in the browser
  • uBlock Origin - ad blocker
  • User Agent Switcher - switch browser user agent.
[–] Flicsmo@rammy.site 1 points 2 years ago

Send help, they keep multiplying...

  • AdGuard Adblocker (has the most user friendly blacklist feature)
  • automaticDark (since Firefox's auto theme switching is iffy on Linux)
  • AutoScrolling
  • Bitwarden
  • CodeCopy
  • Dark Reader
  • Font Finder
  • Greasemonkey
  • Middle Click on Page Closes Tab
  • New Tab Tools
  • Popup Bookmarks
  • Ruffle
  • Self-Destructing Cookies
  • Simple Translate
  • SponsorBlock
  • Stylus

Misc:

  • Don't Accept image/webp
  • enhanced-h264ify
  • Google Direct
  • Old Reddit Redirect
  • Open in Steam
  • Plasma Integration
  • YouTube Control Fix

I'd like to replace some of them with Greasemonkey scripts, but that's a lot of work for a little bit of performance. Also, I didn't realize there was a Wayback Machine extension! Adding that right now, thanks :)

Good ol' canvas blocker, ublock origin, clearurls and dark reader.

[–] dotslashme@infosec.pub 1 points 2 years ago
  • Unblock origin
  • Bitwarden
  • Vimium
[–] fulano@lemmy.eco.br 1 points 2 years ago

The only one I use that wasn't mentioned yet is unpaywall, for finding scientific articles in open databases.

[–] adastra 1 points 2 years ago

On Firefox:

  • Bitwarden
  • Decentraleyes
  • Terms of Service; Didn't Read
  • Firefox Multi-Account Containers

  • Zhongwen

I use most of these on Brave Browser, too.

[–] bagfatnick@kulupu.duckdns.org 1 points 2 years ago

Vinegar on safari for iOS / macOS is probably the extension I find the most useful day to day. It replaces the usual YouTube video player with a standard html5 player. So no ads, and support for PiP.

I use cookie autodelete. Automatically deletes cookies on tab close / domain change. Allows whotelisting for the sites you want to keep logged in. Can’t recommend it enough.
