just installed darkReader, my retinas are thanking me
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.
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).
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.
Not much myself to be honest.
And that’s it. I don’t really need much more.
I don’t see any love for sidebery here, sadge
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
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
I run pretty light
LibRedirect seems useful, Thanks for the post. This will help me alot :)!!
Millenials to Snake People.
Just uBlock.
A bunch of other key extensions already listed, but what I don’t see that I use often is redirector. It lets you put in regex patterns to redirect window locations to another destination. For example I’ve used it to redirect any
reddit.comlink toold.reddit.com, use it to remove tracking parameters from URLS, redirectyoutubetoyewtube, etc.For sake of the thread though, here’s a short list I have on all systems
Used to have
I also use a Chromebook, so I use these “native” extensions I developed.
Browser: Firefox, gonna name stuff i don’t see mentioned yet
‘Multi Account Containers’ + ‘Container Tabs Sidebar’ + ‘Switch Container’ + ‘Temporary Containers’ +
‘don’t care about cookies’‘Consent-o-matic’basically allows you to easily have multiple accounts on websites while also making sure everything stays contained to its own bubble, and anything I don’t have a dedicated container for gets a temporary container that deletes the cookies after a bit
in order for me to both not care about cookies and also not get any cookies.at this point mostly because I don’t like accidentally having an account on a non-contained instanceff2mpv - easily launch videos in mpv, requires a bit of setup
Image Search Options - finding the source of most drawings, spotting which anime a clip is from etc
Yomichan for quick access to locally installed dictionaries (for Japanese in this case)
Toggle Clipboard
Firefox:
UBlock Origin
DuckDuckGo Privacy Essentials Plugin
Decentraleyes
Brave:
UBlock Origin
DuckDuckGo Privacy Essentials Plugin
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.
redundant with ublock origin, unless you’re using the email aliases in which case its useful
use localcdn
Ive heard of localcdn, never looked into it… Is it better than Decentraleyes?
and i do use ddg Essentials for email aliases.
:)
Yeah it’s regularly maintained and supports a lot more frameworks
On Firefox:
