    Library extension. Go to as page selling a book (Amazon, Powell’s, etc.) and the extension will show you if you’re local library has the book, how many copies, and if they’re available for checkout. You can then click through and put a hold on the book.

    Great cure for impulse buying of books. I’ve read more and bought less since using it.

    JShelter and Decentraleyes. And uBlock Origins, but it’s already popular without me. :)

    • ublock origin, first last and if necessary only extension you really need
    • dark reader
    • youtube shorts block - converts shorts links into regular video player with actual fucking seek/volume controls

      Youtube Unhook lets you disable specific parts of the website: Shorts, Recommendations, Comments, and lets you redirect from startpage to subscriptions like in the olden days.

      Bring back the dislike button or something like that for YT.

        Shorts are the only thing that really annoyed me, I don’t mind recommendations or comments, and I just keep a tab open on my subs page all the time anyway.

      Doesn’t Firefox have reader mode with dark mode built in? Don’t get me wrong, I find that functionality indispensable, but I didn’t think it required a plugin.

        Maybe? shrug I didn’t look too hard, I stumbled across someone talking about dark reader and was like ‘I must have this in my life.’

    uBlock Origin is the must have.
    Personally I also use Dark Reader, NoScript, View Page Source and User-Agent Switcher.

        Because I’m used to noscript, I’ve tried using uBlock in stricter than default settings but found it hard to get into their flag system.
        I do not trust 1st party by default in noscript and am pleasantly surprised anytime a site works without js.

          But having two addons will make your fingerprint even larger. So your argument doesn’t explain why you should use two addons instead on one that does it both.

            No, you use one as the backup. That’s why I said use JShelter, but if a site breaks beyond use, switch IPs and then reload with NoScript instead to be more selective of what is blocked and what’s not. That way I can still block Cloudflare and Google and Apple and still let the actual site load. And JScreep seems (for me, YMMV) to treat each as distinct fingerprints.

            IMO if you know you can have multiple fingerprint profiles anyway based on which combo of extensions you use that do roughly the same job, that’s a net benefit.

    uBlock Origin and nothing else. The more extensions, the more unique you’re fingerprint will be and the bigger your attack surface.

      I’ve tried it a few times but tend to fall back to Fennec. While Librewolf on desktop is restrictive by design, it also still allows you tweak the settings to your liking (with some scolding). Ironfox felt much more locked down to me, and if a site was completely broken, I couldn’t do anything about it in the settings.

          I know the mobile browser space is just weird overall, especially Firefox forks, but it definitely stood out to me. Things that work totally fine in Librewolf out-of-the-box were totally busted, and most settings are inaccessible.

          I’m still keeping an eye on it though, as Fennec leaves a lot to be desired, and using a chromium-based browser like Vanadium won’t do it for me because I rely so much on the cross-platform sync functions.

    Category “how the hell isn’t this included by default” :

    • Copy Plain Text: Adds an option in the right click menu to copy the selected text as plain text, without formatting
    • Copy Link Text : Adds an option in the right click menu to copy the text of a link
    • Markdown Reader: Show formatted markdown. I tried several extensions for this and this is the one I prefer personally. It has an index panel on the left which is sooo useful.

    Category “Preserving your mental health online” :

    • uBlock Origin: You really need to block those ads
    • Consent-O-Matic: Never see a cookie pop-up again in your life (it auto accepts or refuse in your place).
    • SponsorBlock: Skips Youtube sponsorships. You can define which ones you want to skip and which you want to watch (paid ads, self promo, etc)
    • Return Youtube Dislike: Show the number of dislikes on videos. It’s not a real number, it’s extrapolated based on how many people with the app have clicked dislike.
    • Youtube No Translate: Keeps titles, descriptions and audio tracks in their original language

    Category “Usefull” :

    • KeePassXC-Browser: To access your password database from your browser
    • Whatever fingerprinting protection you can find (Canvas, Fonts, WebGL, etc… half those I used have been pulled, haven’t found a replacement for all of them)

    Category “Would be nice if…” :

    • A user agent switcher… if you want all websites to block you 😑
    • NoScript: Block javascript and create custom rules to allow it only when and where you want. Or the reverse. It was great a few years ago but I’ve stopped using it because websites require allowing more and more otherwise nothing works and it’s hell can we cancel javascript please?
    • Dark Reader: Dark mode for all websites. Can make some websites unreadable, but you can turn it off for that website. Makes everything much slower though so I don’t use it.

      BTW for plain text, ctrl+shift+V pastes as plain text.

      For copying link text if you hold alt and drag you can select text without activating the link, then ctrl+C as usual.

        I had no idea about the second one! I still like having a context menu option, right click + E seems much less of a hassle than selecting the text and copying, but it’s nice to know you can select part of a link! How did I never notice that you could in 20 years? 😅

        Users voting on whether a segment is good or bad. I always give a thumbs up to the segments that were well-defined and a thumbs-down to segments that cut off half a sentence unnecessarily etc.
