edit: “isn’t this implemented in-browser?” comments: maybe, but it’s to the browser’s implementation. These plugins are reviewable separate from their analogous browser implementation.
Isn’t NoScript redundant if you run UBO in medium mode?
Roughly similar to using Adblock Plus with many filter lists + NoScript with 1st-party scripts/frames automatically trusted. Unlike NoScript however, you can easily point-and-click to block/allow scripts on a per-site basis.
If you go in ublock origin settings, scroll all the way down, you can toggle a setting that disables JS by default. On each site you can whitelist it by clicking ubo and enable JS.
Despite uBlock, my first pick would be Tab Mix Plus. Firefox has yet to properly open up the API for tabs, so you still have to do some mucking around with internals, but TMP gives you multi-row tabs, specific tab-closing patterns, expanded right-click options, and a whole host of insanely useful tab features.
I have been using TMP almost since the beginning, a good 15+ years now, and consider it to be absolutely essential to a proper Firefox setup. I would be happy to punt my TMP config file to anyone interested.
Outside of what has already been mentioned, I still don’t care about cookies and cookie autodelete in tandem. The first accepts cookies. The second deletes them when you are done.
LibRedirect - redirects common proprietary sites to a free and open source alternative
Tampermonkey - allows you to find and install custom open source scripts that add functionality to websites
Besides what everyone else already said: Vimium-C. It lets you use Vim bindings in your browser. It’s also extremely customizable and even works with my bizzare keyboard setup.
Im using Firefox/a fork of it - please note that many of the below mentioned extensions either only exist for Firefox or don’t work well with Chromium browsers due to manifest V3.
This + DeArrow. DeArrow replaces clickbaity titles and thumbnails with better titles submitted by the community. I wouldn’t ever use youtube without it again. With this setup I don’t even want to watch most videos anymore, which is a good thing, because let’s be real, youtube is a big waste of time.
ToS;DR (Terms of Service; Didn’t Read). It gives pages a rating based on their terms of service. It also provides you with a plain-english breakdown of the terms of a site/service.
On Android I’m using Old Reddit Redirect. (I imagine just changing the URL is simpler, besides I’m not there enough to desire tons of features… I don’t even have a Reddit acct. currently.)
On PC I just use old reddit boolmarks, and a bookmarklet that toggles to old Reddit :D
No, this one is on life support and it’s the one which injects extra controls for image links, Twitter links and whatnot. The one you are thinking of is banned old Reddit redirect. And yeah, couldn’t use Reddit without it
If only it was easier to remove the default tabs from firefox so you don’t have duplicate tabs. I recently had problems getting the userCSS to do its thing, trying different directories. In the end the problem however was that I tried to link it with a symbolic link which for some reason doesn’t work.
I was a mad Opera user about 25 years ago, it was the best browser by miles at the time. One feature it had was mouse gestures. Mouse gestures and uBlock origin are the only two extensions I can’t love without, but these lists never mention them so I feel like the only one who uses them.
It’s hard to explain how cool and quick it is to be able to control your browser with the mouse. Open/close tabs, navigate tabs, back/forward etc. It doesn’t sound useful, I’m usually a mad keyboard shortcut fiend. But with web browsing in particular, your hand is already on the mouse, scrolling.
The specific extension I use is Gesturefy, I encourage people to install it and give mouse gestures a go.
