I really enjoy Firefox on Android as I can install a bunch of extensions and I find those extensions game changer, especially on the mobile.

One of my favorites are

  • Libredirect - literally one of my favorite ones. Redirects popular sites to privacy focused frontends, like YouTube to Invidious, etc.
  • uBlock Origin - I guess everyone knows this one
  • Privacy Badger - blocks trackers
  • Ghostery - blocks trackers, ads, scripts, etc.

What extensions do you guys use?

Ublock origin, Sponsor block, and NoScript

Sponsorblock's been epic! Props to the coder and the contributors.

Consent-o-matic !

That's the same as Ublock Origin - Anoyances list, you don't need a separate addon for that.

Ublock Origin -> Settings -> External Filters -> Annoyances -> Tick all

Consent-o-Matic actually declines the cookies but that just hides the banner

I need to try consent I magic then because at least one website has had the banner blocked but didn't let me move the screen or anything.

Some of my picks to add to all other comments

  • Gesturefy: Mouse gesture addon. It can also run custom javascript. For example I have a script that makes copying text, links, buttons easier.
  • Imagus mod: Hover zoom addon with up-to-date sieves that actually work. The sieve team is quite good.
  • BetterViewer: Image viewer although some buttons don't work on firefox.
  • Fastforward: circumvents annoying link shorteners
  • Distill: Monitor webpage or feed for changes

I also have many ***monkey and stylus scripts.

Sorry to necro, but have you found/made a working Imagus sieve for Lemmy? I've been trying without luck for months.
