@nixCraft Beginning with five Plugins, sole purpose for blocking adds, scripts, cookies -.-
@nixCraft What do you have installed on your end? 
@kepler Don't F*** With Paste
Unlock origin
Script block
Twitter extension to hide unwanted stuff
@nixCraft I didn't know Don't F*** With Paste was a thing. Annnddd installed. 

@nixCraft
uBlock Origin
nuTensor
Dark Reader
Firefox Multi-Account Containers
Facebook Container
1Password
600% Sound Volume
Surfingkeys
SponsorBlock for YouTube

From memory 🤔

@p1xelHer0 @nixCraft Facebook container by itself enables Firefox containers.

1pass had a data breach and its security is questionable. I would recommend bitwarden or offline password manager, keepassxc

@waleedmortaja @nixCraft afaik 1Password hasn't been breached. Maybe you are mixing it up with LastPass which is actual garbage.

Using an "online" password manager is a tradeoff, I'm aware of it and it’s a tradeoff I'm willing to take.

@nixCraft 11+, mote than half targetting youtube and ads

@nixCraft of course uBlock
Bitwarden
I don't care about cookies

Also NoScript and Bionic Reader but at the moment I have them deactivated

@Fake_Name @nixCraft Enabling more filters in ublock origin does block cookie prompts
@nixCraft
* Negotiator
* User JavaScript and CSS
* Privacy Settings (using #vivaldi)
* JSONVue
* Bitwarden
@nixCraft I have 12. Seems like a lot, but none are redundancies, and each serve a particular purpose for me.
@nixCraft I have more than 20 but some may be disabled. I would have so much more if I was not using Vivaldi tbh.
The best being Vimium
@nixCraft Couldn’t stand browsing without uBlock Origin. Apart from that I don’t usually need anything else.
@nixCraft uBlock Origin
Privacy Badger
Foxy Proxy
@nixCraft seven, most of which are used to de-suckify youtube.
@nixCraft Just uBlock Origin, Bitwarden, and the GNOME Shell Integration thingy here.

@nixCraft
ublock origin
Enpass
Easyfundraising

Think that's everything at the moment

@nixCraft More than 11.

I’ve got 10 in Safari on my iPhone/iPad, but the Mac has a number more that are local/sideloaded/what have you.

My Firefox profile used on all platforms has 28 (29 on the Mac due to the Apple-platforms-only availability of StopTheMadness).

@nixCraft Adblocker and greasyfork, you don't really need anything else.
@nixCraft
I read how many browsers, not browser extensions, now i probably voted for the wrong option 
@nixCraft honestly, just Unlock strapped onto both Firefox and Chrome.

@nixCraft

19

Most essential :
Firefox Multi-Account Containers.
Dark Reader.

@nixCraft I counted up 14 active and I see some interesting candidates in comments below, wow! Web sure is bloat in 2023 :(
@nixCraft EFF's Privacy Badger, Evernote web clipper, webaim.
@nixCraft Technically zero but my own browser integrates ad-blocking. :D
@nixCraft Firefox with Facebook Container, I don't care about cookies, Measure-It, uBlock Origin and User-Agent Switcher.
@nixCraft I have such a dumb question: by boost does that mean the reblog, favorite, or something else?
@mrthomnas @nixCraft Boost is the "reblog" button (the two arrows). Favorite is the star. That is a nice gesture, a like or a thank you. Boost means you show it to all your followers, that's the way how more "bubbles" connect and see the post.
@r3vilo @nixCraft thank you for the explanation!
@nixCraft personally I have ublock and windscribe vpn :)
@nixCraft apparently after counting, i have somehow accumulated 19 extensions 
@nixCraft Looks like 5—6. Mostly tracker blockers, Add to Pocket, and on Safari, alternate video players that don't support ads
@nixCraft
• uBlock Origin
• Clear URLs
• Cookie Auto Delete
• LocalCDN
• h.264ify (on slow Intel machines)

@nixCraft 6 currently on #vivaldi

Must have:
- Dark Reader
- Tabliss
- uBlock Origin

Useful for now:
- Google Docs Offline
- JSON Viewer
- Plasma Integration
