Hoxx vpn for those spicy and not allowed sites
Decentraleyes, ublock origin, consent-o-matic
Bitwarden, KDE Connect, Plasma Integration, ublock (of course), foxy gestures

Vimium-C.

Well, it goes right after UBlock Origin, which was mentioned many times already.

Did you try Tridactyl for vim like browsing? Is Vimium C better?

Nope, when I was choosing an extension I guess many people told me that tridactyl is a bit buggy and not polished enough.

That was many years ago, I’m not sure what is the situation now.

the ones that I actively use Rotate and Zoom Image; Image extract; SVG Export; Simple mass downloader; PassLok Image Steganography; Color Changer; Save Screenshot; Behind the Overlay Revival

those that work in the background Redirect AMP to HTML; Chameleon; JPEG XL Viewer;

Did you try Tridactyl for vim like browsing? Is Vimium C better?
I started there. But then it migrated to pentadactyl, which i had trouble installing. Tridactyl was an improvement, and honestly would work great for me… But id already switched…

Ublock [1] and Noscript [2] are must have. you could also checkout Privacy Badger [3].

If you use arkenfox user.js [4] you could also use I still don’t care about cookies [5]

Download uBlock Origin for Firefox. Finally, an efficient wide-spectrum content blocker. Easy on CPU and memory.

No script is redundant with ublock origin on advanced mode.
Would you please let me know how do i get the same “all scripts are blocked” and allowlist specific domains only like in noscript? As far as i know ublock enable/disable javascript for whole website not subdomains. I could be wrong. And noscript have xss protection.
I have used noscript for a long time but after trying umatrix (from the ublock origin developer) I doubt I’m going back since this one feels more powerful. Maybe you want to give that one a try 🙂. I use it alongside ublock.
as far as i know umatrix is unmaintained. so the default ublock + noscript seems the best combination.
Umatrix became unmaintained because ublock origin can handle most of its use cases. You just need to run Ublock origin in medium or hard mode. More info ca he found on wiki: github.com/gorhill/…/Blocking-mode:-medium-mode
Blocking mode: medium mode

I still don’t care about cookies
Okay but what extensions do you use? /s
That one it is called “I still don’t care about cookies”, also uBlock origin…
I recently learnt that it just auto accepts them so I stopped using, ublock has settings to actually block cookies which seems to work well, more tricky to enable though.
Yeah, I never got that to work properly so I’ve been using Hush on mobile and I Still Don’t Care About Cookies (grudgingly).
You can try Consent-O-Matic, which you can configure to reject cookies.
Oh, I didn’t knew that…

Bitwarden, AdGuard, DarkReader

Ublock Origin and Vimium C. That’s it.

I used Dark Reader until last week, when I discovered a native Firefox setting that does the job better: Settings > Language and appearance > Colors > Manage > set background to Black and override to Always.

No more white flashes, EVER (yes, I tried absolutely everything but on some sites there was nothing to be done, even with every possible CSS hack). And no more Dark Reader speed penalty (to be fair it was small, and Dark Reader is still an amazing tool).

Now the web looks pretty ugly but it is fast and always dark. White flashes banished FOREVER.

That one seems a bit beta right now. Vimium C works fine.
Nice, thanks for the tip. Just disabled Dark Reader!

All of this may beg the question: What add-ons would we like to see?

One that doesn’t exist is QOI Viewer that would render the Quite OK image format into a png for Firefox to display.

QOI (image format) - Wikipedia

It’s very specific but I’d love an auto-skip intro add on for Plex like I have for Netflix.
Plex has that feature built in. No idea if it’s included in the free version though. It works pretty by analyzing sound and it’s pretty good.
I love this feature in Plex so much it’s why I basically watch all my tv shows on my Android tablet instead of my tv
I absolutely love Tree Style Tabs. I usually have a ton of tabs open (middle mouse click is my best friend) and that helps me keep it all organized, and quickly close all the ones I don’t need anymore. I also did a change in the profile settings for Firefox to get rid of the normal tabs so now I only have the tree ones. (I don’t really remember how I did that though, it was ages ago and involved editing some files in appdata)

It involves editing the user chrome CSS or whatever it’s called.

In addition to Tree Style Tabs, I use Tree Style Tab Mouse Wheel which eases navigation and Simple Tab Groups which also helps with organising the browsing sessions.

  • uBlock Origin
  • Tridactyl (vim like browsing)

uBlock Origin

Swisscows search engine, can’t live without it
ublock origin, fast forward, pushbullet.
Multi account container and temporary container.

uBlock Origin, Tridactyl, and Translate Web Pages.

User Agent Spoofer whenever I need it.

Tree style tabs, which gives vertical tabs that you can arrange in a hierarchy to keep related ones together

Simple tab groups, which lets you have multiple sets l sets of open tabs you can switch between (can you tell I have a problem with too many tabs?)

Unstick!, which removes any sticky elements, I.e. parts of three page that stay on your screen while you scroll. It’s great for removing all the bars and obstructions to reading that pages like to put in your way

Read aloud, a good text to speech extension to read pages or parts of pages to you. It can be used with cloud based neural voices from Google and Amazon with some setup

Consent-o-matic, which gets rid of the cookie consent popups for you and it’s configurable as to which types of cookies it will refuse or consent to for you

SponsorBlock for YouTube, which can auto skip sponsor reads and various other kinds of segments you select to be skipped

A few short months ago I would have said RES but, well 🤷‍♀️

I love Simple tab groups, great way to save tabs for later I’m also definitely going to give Consent-o-matic a try

I see some of these have already been mentioned, but they do deserve repeating;

  • µBlock Origin - blocks ads, and does it well.
  • Privacy Badger - blocks trackers, rewrites some tracking URLs, etc.
  • Multi-Account Containers - for those places where you want to keep tabs separate, giving each container its own cookies/session/etc.
  • Consent-O-Matic - automatically handles a lot of pages that shove annoying (and often technically GDPR-illegal due to lacking a quick “reject all” button) consent forms in your face.
  • Imagus - shows linked images on hover, including support for galleries and scrolling through all the images contained.

Does consent-o-matic also rejects them or just accepts them?
@Daefsdeda @ace you can choose what kind of cookies to accept and reject in the extension's settings.
Thanks that is amazing
There was an imagus fork which is actively maintained
I use I don’t care about cookies, I wonder how different it is from consent-o-matic
I don't care about cookies – Get this Extension for 🦊 Firefox (en-US)

Download I don't care about cookies for Firefox. Get rid of cookie warnings from almost all websites!

FYI- I was about to install “I don’t care about cookies” when I noticed all the 1 star reviews. People saying its been purchased by Avast and is now data mining.

“I still don’t care about cookies” is a community fork, does the same thing but isn’t owned by a big company.
