Do not send me Chrome addons. I do not care that you have a worse version of uBlock
I’ll throw out a few.
Wouldn’t chameleon make you just as trackable unless you’re also switching your vpn every time you switch user agents?
In general user agents dont do much although i didnt scrutinize chamrlron. You could use a foxyproxy tab. I generally use the super generic kind of antifingerprinting options w foxyproxy, but presumably they would work together
These are pretty good
The first thing I add after an ad blocker on a fresh Firefox install will always be Shinigami Eyes: a crowd-sourced system for marking transphobes and allies across the web.

Tridactyl is a must for me. It’s as close to the Qutebrowser experience as I can find (especially with ‘:guiset none’) but I get to keep my ublock/sponsorblocks.
- Cookie Autodelete
- I don’t care about cookies
I head that “I don’t care about cookies” got bought by Avast or something and had some spyware in it or something (can’t quite remember I looked into it a while back).
I think there’s another version called “I still don’t care about cookies” that avoids that.
I hadn’t heard that, thanks, I’ll check it out.
Best underrated combo.
I like to use mouse gestures since the time Opera had its own engine. So basically the Gesturefy add-on for Firefox is a must for me.
The rocker gestures are nice for laptops and trackpads but has been made obsolete by multitouch gestures.
On desktop I really like Vimium. It enables keyboard navigation on basically any site
Sponsor Block–Skips some YouTube ads.
Language Tool–keeps me from making stupid grammar errors.
Cookie Quick Manager–you can lock cookies and other stuff.
- BlockTube: Allows you to block YouTube Channels and Video as using “Do Not Recommend Channel” doesn’t exactly work
- Bitwarden - Loves the auto-fill feature
- uBlacklist - More easier to block URL result on various search engine. Only use it as I can’t be arsed tried to learn how to manually make filter on uBlock and want something that I can block Daily Mail on my search with just a click. It’s just the job done so happy to use it.
Tabby. A tab manager, but I mainly use it to search for tabs.
Adnauseam Silently click-spams ads to drain their bandwidth, with the purpose of making the horrible advertising business unprofitable.
this is built on ublock origin, so if your using it get rid of ublock origin as well.
Adblocking is a more efficient way to make adversiting unprofitable, as it avoid wasting both yours’ and adtech’s bandwidth.
Wasting resources isn’t a great strategy, even if someone else is paying for it.
A minor amount of bytes is not “wasting resources”. It is wasting ad revenue.
It’s both, and not a small amount of bytes.
It’s basically just burning through the credit they’ve paid Google and making their numbers look like the ad was effective, but conversion was low
Google has been caught doing similar things to make their metrics look better
This does hurt advertising in a nebulous kind of accelerationist way, but it does end up with more ad money being given to Google
Indeed. This in turn devalues ads by dropping their conversion rate. Thus people won’t use Google services anymore.
Tab Snooze - allows you to close a tab and have it reappear at a chosen time later
Domain Volume Control / Better Volume Booster - allow you to set default volume per-domain (note that unfortunately, in the 1st one the set volume gets changed when you change the volume through a site’s player, and the 2nd one currently causes an issue on Nightly with unpaused videos)
Playback speed - allows you to change the speed of videos/audio on any site, even only by x0.01 at a time (you can also change the buttons that appear when you click on the addon in the toolbar/addons menu to have specific speeds readily available) (note that it doesn’t change the pitch of the audio)
- Specifically for YouTube you can also use an addon like Improve YouTube. To configure the feature click on the addon in the toolbar/addons menu > Shortcuts > Playback speed. To change the shortcut so that you hold Ctrl and use the mousewheel (while hovering over the video) click Ctrl and release it before using the mousewheel up or down accordingly (otherwise it acts as a zoom to the settings window)
Media URL Timestamper - automatically inserts the current timestamp of the YouTube/Twitch video you’re watching and updates it in the history in case you accidentally close/navigate away from the page or go to a different time in the video
Feedbro - an RSS reader with filtering capabilities
Tab Snooze - allows you to close a tab and have it reappear at a chosen time later
Can’t Firefox already do this though?
Right-click > Unload Tab on a tab.
It’s not for saving memory but to postpone a tab to check it later (for example to see new comments on a post, or if you don’t currently have time to read an article and want to read it tomorrow)
Snooze and Sleep are completely unrelated, naturally.
to see new comments on a post
But then loading an unloaded tab reloads the page, does it not? Or does it go strictly by the cached version? If it is the former, then it should load the newest comments.
It opens it again as a new/refreshed tab, though it does it automatically at the postponed time and so it’s more convenient than having to do it manually (especially when you snooze several tabs)
Oh I see so there really is no difference functionally aside from the fact that the native functionality is manual restoration while the addon functionality is automatic restoration?
Er…sorry. I guess what I meant by that is that from what you tell me it seems that there is virtually no difference between what the native “tab unloading” function is and what the addon’s “tab snooze” function is, that difference being that the former requires manually reactivating a tab while the latter can do it at a specific time/duration like an alarm clock.
Is that about right?
Right, though I believe that when you unload a tab it stays there? With the snooze thing it closes the tab and reopens later
Yes, it stays there.
That’s really cool that the snooze thing makes it go away!
uBo has never worked on twitch for me, even with custom filters people say work (probably a me issue) so I’ll through out Purple Ads Blocker TTV LOL PRO. I only ever have 1 activated at a time. 1 will work for awhile and the twitch will change something and the one I’m using stops working so I switch to the other.
I have to go on there I usually open it in Xtra Android app and the systemwide/dns adblockers get it
I’ve seen people say setting vpn to serbia or albania will have ads not show on twitch. Worked the few times I tested it out, but what country ads don’t run might have changed.
JShelter?
V important tool
