What are some good extensions for Firefox? I got the standard ad-block but I don't know what else is out there.

Ublock origin

Search by image

web archives (for when you hit a paywall)

old reddit redirect (so you don't get stuck on the broken mobile site)

I straight up can't see anything on new Reddit now. just "something went wrong". they're really screwing things up -_-

Consentomatic. Automatic rejection of all unnecessary cookies. It's not perfect but works often enough to be worth it.

If you are an Android, why not just use LibreTube?

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

In my particular case: because I still need to sync my subscriptions and playlists, as well as the support for adding comments.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

You can create an account on a Piped instance and use it to log in to LibreTube. That way, you can sync your subscriptions and playlists. The only thing you can't do is comment.

Note to self, see if I can self-host Piped

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

You can. It's pretty easy. That's exactly what I do.

Dark Reader. Make sure to set the background color to pure black (#000000)

Also a password manager like Bitwarden

[–] [email protected] 1 points 11 months ago

Why not just download the app for Bitwarden?

Privacy Redirect is no longer maintained. Use LibRedirect instead.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

Thanks! That one has some great features too!

No thanks. Fuck apps that track everything I do and sell it to randos

Edit: here's an open source version that doesn't track and sell your data in an intrusive manner

Looks cool, is it mainly for the US? Also does it show other Amazon sellers or local brick and mortar stores?
