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.

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
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.
An extra thumbs up for mullvad vpn from me. It's a bit more costly than the mainstream ones but you don't have to subscribe to any plan. Just pay month by month, absolutely no personal data needed.
Thank you 00 and crius for introducing Mullvad. Been looking for a VPN that doesn’t lock you into any subscription plans.
Mullvad VPN is great! Though I was talking about the Mullvad Browser (which is great as well and integrates well with their VPN service).
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 don't care about cookies
- SponsorBlock
- uBlock Origin
Some of you have a LOT of addons, jeez.
Don’t Fuck With Paste
You don't need an addon for this one. Search about:config for dom.event.clipboardevents.enabled and double click on the key (set it to false). It should take care of that for you.
Edit: Typo
Wasn't I don't care about cookies acquired by Avast or something? I don't exactly remember why, but in response to something like that, community edition I still don't care about cookies was created and I'm using it since then.
Good to know, I'll check that out thanks!

Millenials to Snake People.
This is incredible, I have to try it. As a cloud to butt user I want to get a combo somewhere
- 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
- 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.
- Bitwarden
- Sponser Block
- LibRedirect
- Decentraleyes
- Cookie Block
- NoScript
- UntrackUrls
- Firefox Containers
- TOS;DR

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
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)

- 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
- uBlock Origin
- Startpage

Just uBlock.
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
- 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.

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

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
