What are your favorite browser extensions? - Beehaw

Ublock Origin is an obvious one, but I also can’t stand not having Foxy Gestures [https://addons.mozilla.org/fr/firefox/addon/foxy-gestures/] anymore. It adds customizable mouse gestures, so you can set it up to have easy swipes to go back a page, reload a page, close a tab, etc, and it feels wonderful and smooth to use compared to just using the traditional buttons to do everything. Honestly it’s kinda wild to me that this isn’t more popular now that people are so used to phone gestures. It’s good for the same reasons!

Decentraleyes ... Nice! Never seen that one! I always suspected hosted libraries and the such come at a costs (like jQuery etc...).

Decentraleyes was good but has been unmaintained for quite some time, I believe LocalCDN is the current replacement.
LocalCDN – Get this Extension for 🦊 Firefox (en-US)

Download LocalCDN for Firefox. Emulates remote frameworks (e.g. jQuery, Bootstrap, AngularJS) and delivers them as local resource. Prevents unnecessary 3rd party requests to Google, StackPath, MaxCDN and more. Prepared rules for uBlock Origin/uMatrix.

I've heard a lot about Decentraleyes but I don't really understand how it works. What does it do? I'd love to add another privacy tool to my arsenal? :)
