What tools & lists are you using to make the Internet more enjoyable and filter out the crap? - Lemmy.World

Mostly interested in non-standard ones, e.g. https://github.com/DandelionSprout/adfilt [https://github.com/DandelionSprout/adfilt]. Not necessarily just about ad-blocking but a clean online experience like SponsorBlock [https://github.com/ajayyy/SponsorBlock]. Interested in non-standard uBO lists as well.

Thanks for your reply! Is the web annoyances list better than the built-in one in uBO. Should I disable the standard one?

it catches more things. I’ve got both lists enabled.

I’m very leary about installing any extensions that use the permission “Access your data for all websites”. I get that they need to see the website so they can do their thing, but I just don’t trust that they are any better having my data than the site I just visited.

I’ve switched to Redirector from LibRedirect as I find it’s more customisable - for example, I can create rules that automatically go to a 12ft.io redirect version of a page if the site is behind a paywall and a rule to redirect Instagram profiles to picuki.com.
GitHub - einaregilsson/Redirector: Browser extension (Firefox, Chrome, Opera, Edge) to redirect urls based on regex patterns, like a client side mod_rewrite.
