  • uBlock Origin - Ad blocker
  • Dark Reader - Dark mode everywhere
  • Privacy Badger - More tracking protection
  • Old Reddit Redirect - Redirects all reddit URLs to the old versions

privacy badger is useless with ublock origin

[–] notnotmike@programming.dev 2 points 2 years ago

Not entirely. Privacy Badger will also block embedded social media posts, replacing them with opt-in viewing.

[–] possiblylinux127@lemmy.zip 1 points 2 years ago

Ublock origin is way more than a Ad blocker. It also blocks lots of other things including site hijacks though multiple redirects and redirecting tracking links.

[–] boyi@lemmy.sdf.org 1 points 2 years ago

I have all except one: Decentraleyes instead of Privacy Badger, for no specific reasons.

Dark Reader, LibRedirect, ublock origin

[–] Unbeelievable@beehaw.org 7 points 2 years ago (3 children)

I've tried LibRedirect on desktop, but most of the frontends it redirected to didn't work. Is that fixed?

[–] sabreW4K3@lazysoci.al 6 points 2 years ago

You can pick which instance you're redirected to. If one stops working, pick another.

[–] Iapar@feddit.de 2 points 2 years ago

Was the same for me at first but in the setting is button which pings the instances. I just checked everything with a green number and unchecked everything with a red number. After that it worked.

[–] possiblylinux127@lemmy.zip 1 points 2 years ago

There is a war going on. Just find one that works and use it.

Ublock origin, tampermonkey and bitwarden

[–] Paradoxvoid@aussie.zone 7 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Is there any reason to use the Bitwarden Firefox extension rather than the app?

[–] yessikg@lemmy.blahaj.zone -1 points 2 years ago

Autofill

Consent-O-Matic is a massive timesaver and works great on mobile. Not sure if you can install it directly these days, I use my own collection.

[–] Xirup@lemmy.dbzer0.com 3 points 2 years ago (1 children)

What it does?

[–] Overspark@feddit.nl 4 points 2 years ago

It takes care of most cookie consent popups you get when visiting a new website. And it can automatically deny anything that hurts your privacy.

Has anyone else found the firefox app on android buggy? Always crashes when switching to full screen when watching a video but will work when opening it again immediately. Gets into the wrong state with private vs non private tabs etc.

[–] kevincox@lemmy.ml 1 points 2 years ago

Video sometimes fails to play when coming back to it. I need to restart the browser. However the rest of the page is responsive and I haven't had it crash.

[–] LinkOpensChest_wav@lemmy.blahaj.zone 3 points 2 years ago

User-Agent Switcher and Manager for those rare occasions when a site wants to prevent access from a mobile browser and/or Firefox in general

[–] cmgvd3lw@discuss.tchncs.de 3 points 2 years ago

LibRedirect, NoScript, uBlock Origin.

[–] possiblylinux127@lemmy.zip 2 points 2 years ago

Ublock origin is what I mostly use

[–] kevincox@lemmy.ml 2 points 2 years ago

I use:

[–] Andromxda@lemmy.dbzer0.com 2 points 2 years ago (1 children)
  • The classic, uBlock Origin
  • Decentraleyes
  • Bitwarden
  • Read Aloud

Dark Reader works, but unfortunately it completely destroys the performance

[–] Delusion6903@discuss.online 1 points 2 years ago

True. I've had better luck with Dark Background and Light Text.

[–] boredsquirrel@slrpnk.net 1 points 2 years ago

I have a collection just for that
