A nice place to discuss rumors, happenings, innovations, and challenges in the technology sphere. We also welcome discussions on the intersections of technology and society. If it’s technological news or discussion of technology, it probably belongs here.

Remember the overriding ethos on Beehaw: Be(e) Nice. Each user you encounter here is a person, and should be treated with kindness (even if they’re wrong, or use a Linux distro you don’t like). Personal attacks will not be tolerated.

A nice one i use is NighEye. I've forgotten what it feels like to have your retinas burned. Feels good

  • uBlock Origin
  • NoScript
  • Bitwarden

--

I previously used Privacy Badger, but I block basically everything with NoScript anyway, so it was redundant. I also used HTTPS Everywhere but you can enable that in most (all?) browsers now anyway, so you don't need an extension any longer (the highest form of success for an extension). I also previously used LastPass, but I got out before they had their security issues, and importantly changed every password when I transitioned. On work computer I have the 1password extension.

  • uBlock Origin

Important. I've added the Bypass Paywalls-filter as well, which makes browsing a lot more pleasant.

  • SponsorBlock

I will not watch ads, not even one.

  • I still don't care about cookies

This removes most of the annoyance of cookie banners and consent dialogs

  • Redirect AMP to HTML

AMP sucks, rather not even see it

  • Libredirect

A recent favorite - I started using this as Twitter on web was becoming increasingly unusable, and Nitter is a fine alternative. Now I use it for Twitter, TikTok, Imgur, Medium and Reddit.

  • MarkDownload is wonderful
  • FoxyGestures: Pull left to go back, scribble 'Z' to close a tab
  • Omnivore: Read stuff later

[–] carlyman@beehaw.org 1 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Ruffle.rs had not heard of....besides the nostalgia of Flash, what do you use it for?

[–] Lionir@beehaw.org 1 points 2 years ago

Just that, really. It's a cool project and I wanna keep up with its progress.

[–] Rkrin@beehaw.org 1 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago)

-uBlock Origin

-Sponsorblock

-Unhook for youtube

-unpinterested

-panicbutton

Also adguard dns filtering on my mobile devices. Would highly recommend panicbutton as a quick way to set a task aside without opening a new window and unhook to filter out the trash YouTube is shoveling onto the home page

Browser: Firefox, gonna name stuff i don't see mentioned yet


'Multi Account Containers' + 'Container Tabs Sidebar' + 'Switch Container' + 'Temporary Containers' + ~~'don't care about cookies'~~ 'Consent-o-matic'
basically allows you to easily have multiple accounts on websites while also making sure everything stays contained to its own bubble, and anything I don't have a dedicated container for gets a temporary container that deletes the cookies after a bit ~~in order for me to both not care about cookies and also not get any cookies.~~ at this point mostly because I don't like accidentally having an account on a non-contained instance

ff2mpv - easily launch videos in mpv, requires a bit of setup

Image Search Options - finding the source of most drawings, spotting which anime a clip is from etc

Yomichan for quick access to locally installed dictionaries (for Japanese in this case)
Toggle Clipboard

DuckDuckGo Privacy Essentials Plugin
Decentraleyes

Brave:
UBlock Origin

I dont use HTTPS Everywhere anymore because its included in Firefox and Brave!

Edit: I only use Brave to do my school homework because firefox messes with the website we use sometimes.

behind! - makes it easy to access images hidden under layout tricks

Better Youtube+ - adds a few extra buttons such as download to youtube videos

Bypass Paywalls - as it says on the tin

Cookiebro - autodeletes all non-whitelisted cookies ten minutes after creation

Greasemonkey - enables userscripts, specifically:

 Anti-Adblock Killer - as it says on the tin

 EmuParadise Download Workaround - Nintendo made them hide the links, this shows them. May not be relevant anymore, haven't used it in a while

 Old Wikipedia Layout - edits all wikipedia links to include ?useskin=vector so it doesn't use the garbage new layout

 Redirect Twitter to Nitter - as it says on the tin, turns all twitter links to corresponding nitter links

 Simple Youtube Age Restriction Bypass - as it says on the tin

Privacy Badger - EFF tracker blocker

Return Youtube Dislike - as it says on the tin

SponsorBlock for Youtube - uses crowdsourced timestamps to block in-video youtube ads

uBlock Origin - basic/main adblocker

[–] fulano@lemmy.eco.br 1 points 2 years ago

The only one I use that wasn't mentioned yet is unpaywall, for finding scientific articles in open databases.

[–] bagfatnick@kulupu.duckdns.org 1 points 2 years ago

Vinegar on safari for iOS / macOS is probably the extension I find the most useful day to day. It replaces the usual YouTube video player with a standard html5 player. So no ads, and support for PiP.

[–] adastra@beehaw.org 1 points 2 years ago
