What browser extensions do you use?

uBlock Origin

Decentraleyes

Consent-o-matic

These are essential to me. Consent o matic automatically fills out cookie pop-ups by opting out of everything for you. Some of these cookie things take a while to process which shows how devious they are set up

just installed darkReader, my retinas are thanking me

Looking at the comments, interest in privacy and adblocking seem high. But the actual addons suggested here are often redundant or even worse, make you easier to track. Instead, take a look at the Arkenfox wiki, which is more or less the gold standard for browser privacy. Both LibreWolf and Mullvad Browser, practically the most privacy/anonymity oriented browsers out there, right behind Tor, either rely on it or stick very closely to it.
I highly recommend reading the entire wiki from the start. You dont have to do everything it says, obviously, but even if you dont do anything it will give you a better understanding of browser privacy. And lastly, do not use Chrome or any chromium based browser if you care about privacy and a free and open internet. Even if you only use a chromium based browser, you help increase googles monopoly.

I love these types of posts. From the outset they seem mundane, but they are discussion provoking and I'm able to learn of new things at the same time.

My list (Firefox) 🙃

• Absolute Enable Right Click & Copy
• Bitwarden
• Don't Fuck With Paste
• I still don't care about cookies
• SponsorBlock
• uBlock Origin

Some of you have a LOT of addons, jeez.

Edit: Updated to use the /still/ don't care about cookies addon. Thanks @stepan@lemmy.fmhy.ml

Millenials to Snake People.

• uBlock Origin
• Bypass Paywalls Plus
• I don't care about Cookies
• Cookie AutoDelete

The Cookie addons work wonderfully together. IDCAC just accepts every cookie banner automatically, AutoDelete removes them after the tab was closed.

I don't see any love for sidebery here, sadge

• uBlock Origin
• Privacy Badger
• HTTPS Everywhere
• Firefox Relay
• NoScript (off 99% of the time since it's not really needed)
• RES (until reddit does some stupid shit and bans it or something so I can finally quit it entirely)
• TinEye Reverse Image Search

That's basically it. But after reading a few comments I added:

• Consent-o-matic
• Decentraleyes

• Audio Only for YouTube™
• Better Twitch Adblock
• BetterTTV
• Channel Blocker
• Dark Reader Gumbo: Twitch Companion
• HTTPS Everywhere
• LeechBlock NG
• MAL-Sync
• NoScript
• Return YouTube Dislike
• ScrewMyCode: Pitch control for YouTube
• Truffle
• uBlock Origin
• Unhook - Remove YouTube Recommended Videos
• Violentmonkey

Not much myself to be honest.

• uBlock Origin, to make the web a bearable experience
• Yomichan for learning Japanese

And that's it. I don't really need much more.

A lot: https://github.com/TheFrenchGhosty/TheFrenchGhostys-Ultimate-Firefox-Configuration

I run pretty light

• Bitwarden
• ProtonVPN
• NoScript
• LibRedirect
• uBlock Origin

uBlock Origin
Dark Reader
Return Dislikes for YouTube

Most other needs can be configured with Firefox whether it be css stuff like dark scroll bars or browser behaviour. The fewer add-ons the better.

I used to have dozens of them, now only few:

• uBlock
• Violentmonkey
• FeedBro
• Bitwarden
• Vimium
• Sponsorblock
• Return Youtube Dislike
• DeArrow (installed today)

• Bitwarden
• Sponser Block
• LibRedirect
• Decentraleyes
• Cookie Block
• NoScript
• UntrackUrls
• Firefox Containers
• TOS;DR

• Ublock Origin: to block ads of course
• SponsorBlock: to skip youtube sponsor spots and begging for likes and dislikes and leave a comment and ring the notification bell. Or skip straight to high lights.
• FireFox Multiaccount Container: For separate containers to keep accounts isolated from each other
• old reddit reddit: will be looking for a teddit.net redirect now
• Reddit Enhancement Suite: when used with reddit was my best friend

from https://beehaw.org/comment/80030:

uBO, of course. note: you guys don't need ClearURLs with this list added.
LibRedirect for automatically opening Youtube, Twitter, TikTok etc. links in their privacy-focused front-ends. I just make sure to disable all the instances by esmailelbob since he's a little homophobic shithead
Buster for automatic captcha solving
Consent-O-Matic automatically clicks through cookies banner to deny all the cookies that aren't necessary, which I like better than just hiding the cookie banner
Redirect AMP to HTML because fuck AMP and fuck Google

also make sure to check the "do not bother" list here: https://github.com/arkenfox/user.js/wiki/4.1-Extensions

uBlock Origin Dark Reader 'Adblocker for twitch' which half works

My must haves:

• Bitwarden
• Dark reader
• Ublock origin
• Video speed controller

I use Firefox and the arkenfox user.js, which is not an extension, but helps with privacy. For the extensions, though, they are as follows:

• uBlock Origin // on medium mode (Check out what blocking modes are if you don't know them already)
• LibRedirect // to redirect to more privacy respecting frontends
• Skip Redirect // for increased privacy in terms of redirects
• Smart Referer // on strict mode. I use this as I have set network.http.referer.XOriginPolicy to 0 as 2 was a little too strict for me

I think more extensions than these would probably hurt my setup. I have followed the advice from the arkenfox wiki. Check it out if you want to look into a more private and secure Firefox configuration. Also feel free to criticize or ask questions about my setup :)

• auto tab discard
• bitwarden
• dark reader
• enhancer for youtube
• livemark
• localcdn
• ublock origin
• tree style tabs
• tampermunkey
• sponsorblock

Simple Tab Groups helps me alot for organizing windows and tabs for certain topics

FediFollow is great for following people on other instances without much copy/paste work

• Adguard (Adblocker)
• ProWritingAid (Grammar Checker)
• Volume Master (Boosts tab audio)
• Chrome Remote Desktop (Obvious)
• Honey & Rakuten (Coupons and Cashback)

I also use a Chromebook, so I use these "native" extensions I developed.

• CrosKeys (Launcher, Clipboard Manager, Scripting, basically a Rofi replacement)
• CrosPaper (Wallpaper/Screensaver Manager)
• CrosManager (System Manager)

A bunch of other key extensions already listed, but what I don't see that I use often is redirector. It lets you put in regex patterns to redirect window locations to another destination. For example I've used it to redirect any reddit.com link to old.reddit.com, use it to remove tracking parameters from URLS, redirect youtube to yewtube, etc.

For sake of the thread though, here's a short list I have on all systems

• Redirector
• Ublock Origin
• Firefox multi containers
• Bitwarden
• Ghunt companion
• Leech block
• Noscript

Used to have

• RES
• Modtoolbox
• Privacy Badger
• HTTPS everywhere

Just uBlock.

• uBlock Origin
• Startpage
• Firefox Relay

Lots of great recommendations in this thread. One I use and didn't see mentioned yet is StreetPass. It automatically saves any Mastodon rel="me" verification links you come across while browsing. I've found it very useful for finding interesting accounts to follow

• uBlock Origin
• uMatrix
• SponsorBlock
• decentraleyes
• Cookie Auto Delete
• KeepassXC-Browser
• Tampermonkey

• 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.

Audio Only for YouTube™ Better Twitch Adblock BetterTTV Channel Blocker Dark Reader Gumbo: Twitch Companion HTTPS Everywhere LeechBlock NG MAL-Sync NoScript Return YouTube Dislike ScrewMyCode.in: Pitch control for YouTube Truffle uBlock Origin Unhook - Remove YouTube Recommended Videos Violentmonkey

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.

Firefox:
UBlock Origin
DuckDuckGo Privacy Essentials Plugin
Decentraleyes

Brave:
UBlock Origin
DuckDuckGo Privacy Essentials Plugin

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.

and thanks to the based commenters here, learned there were some userscripts for kbin and got the Dark Reader extension

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

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:

 undefined

         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

• Bypass Paywalls
• Decentraleyes

I use most of these on Brave Browser, too.

• 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.

My list for Firefox:

• Always on Top
• Display Anchors
• Firefox Multi-Account Containers
• Regex Search
• Simple Tab Groups
• Stylus
• uBlock Origin

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

• ublock origin
• scriptsafe
• vimium
• 1password
• mastodon link

• Bitwarden - Password manager
• Dark Reader - Dark mode everywhere
• FakeSpot - spotting fake amazon reviews, etc
• OneTab - because otherwise I have hundreds of tabs open. At least this lets me pretend at organization.
• RSS Subscription Extension - get RSS urls with one click.
• Vimium - Vim controls in the browser
• uBlock Origin - ad blocker
• User Agent Switcher - switch browser user agent.

I highly recommend checking out Firefox Multi-Account Containers.

I have these extensions pinned:

• uBlock Origin
• Firshot (takes screenshots of website with scrolling)
• Google Translate

And my remaining extensions are:

• Chrome Remote Desktop
• Confetti Snippets (adds copy button to code on Stack Overflow)
• DeArrow (Crowdsourced titles and thumbnails to remove clickbait from YouTube)

• WAVE Evaluation Tool (tests website accessibility)

• Bitwarden
• FoxyProxy
• DuckDuckGo

More than I feel makes sense to post TBH. But a few important ones (for Firefox):

uBlock Origin

Bitwarden (password manager)
Checker Plus for Gmail + Checker Plus for Google Calendar, easy-access email/calendar in a small window, I very rarely actually go to gmail.com
Return YouTube Dislike
Tampermonkey for userscripts on Kbin
Video Speed Controller, I use numpad +/- to increase/decrease speed by 0.25x, works basically everywhere including YouTube
