I really enjoy Firefox on Android as I can install a bunch of extensions and I find those extensions game changer, especially on the mobile.

One of my favorites are

Libredirect - literally one of my favorite ones. Redirects popular sites to privacy focused frontends, like YouTube to Invidious, etc.
uBlock Origin - I guess everyone knows this one
Privacy Badger - blocks trackers
Ghostery - blocks trackers, ads, scripts, etc.

What extensions do you guys use?

Dark Reader: Especially late at night white page background just burns out my retinas, no idea how I ever managed before.

Did you try to reduce the brightness of your monitor?

[–] JackbyDev@programming.dev 1 points 3 months ago

Sadly, even at the lowest brightness setting, with "extra dim" enabled, and the most intense blue blocking filter my phone will allow, most light colored backgrounds still illuminate the hell out of the room.

It seems to do weird things to some websites where for me it also leaves text dark/black

[–] golli@lemm.ee 1 points 3 months ago

Sometimes it doesn't work, especially when it is a particularly weird colour palette, but it gets it right most of the time. In that case it does have the options to make some adjustments or just turn it of for that particular site.
