Share your browser add-ons

I thought it would be a fun idea to create a topic for sharing browser add-ons that way we can discover some new ones that might be of use to you, here are the ones I use.

Wow! And I thought I had too many lol I use only 5; Ublock origin, Vimium, I don't care about cookies, context menu search and language tool, in Chromium. In Firefox, I use the same ones except for I don't care about cookies cause it's not available, but I do use Joplin web clipper add-on. I see you use a few privacy add-ons, maybe this interests you https://forum.palemoon.org/viewtopic.php?f=19&t=22067

Anyone not using Ublock Origin should be banned.

Bitwarden, Ublock Origin, Emsisoft & Downloads Notification. The latter just removes the annoying download bar thing from chrome and moves it to notifications.

EDIT - just noticed that one of your plugins is named 'firefox.....' but I'll leave the below in case it interests anyone.

For "Dark Reader" you can go to chrome://flags and enable 'force dark mode for web contents'

It isn't perfect on all sites, but I think it's preferable to running another plugin.

Is an official Mozilla Firefox add-on which allows you to containerize your web browsing. I only use Chromium als alternative browser for when I need to test a website in a secondary browser or something like that but I prefer Firefox.

It depends on the tasks I do in the browser. I use different browsers for different tasks. I have four browsers open at this moment in time.

I have an ad blocking utility, an extension that makes it a dark mode, an extension that lets me see what a site is running, and often an extension for my VPN. I also use one that lets me apply styles or scripts. I generally have a translator in browsers where I frequent forums or the likes.

I suppose that basically makes it like Chromium in respect of the sandboxing. Not that I know much about all that. I prefer Chrome, although it's mainly because I used slimjet for years on Windows.

Emsisoft & Downloads Notification.

Fun Fact: I thought this was one add-on called "Emsisoft & Downloads Notification", turns out it's two of them lol Emisoft which is a security add-on and a download notifier, which I used to use too, the notifier I mean, the other one never heard/read of it before, seems like be part of an antivirus or something?

sandboxing

If you're interested in sandboxing beyond the scope of what is in the browser, look into 'firejail'.

For Firefox, none. I use FF for sensitive tasks (banks, Paypal) that I don't want the add-ons to spy on me. https://www.howtogeek.com/180175/warning-your-browser-extensions-are-spying-on-you/
For other browsers, some of my add-ons are mentioned above. But, I add CRX Extractor Downloader, Random User Agent and ScriptSafe.
I always check for a Github page to make sure that the add-ons are open-source. Otherwise, I don't install. I believe the security comes from the users.

Ublock Origin

Duck Duck Go Privacy Essentials

I use Firejail and UFW.

I use Common Sense browsing habits.


I'm trying to find a download for Common Sense.

What is the deference between Ublock Origin and adblock plus?

I believe one blocks more than the other however exactly which one is better I can't say because both work well.

AdBlock Plus vs uBlock Origin

Many sites contain ads in an attempt to make their owners money. That’s fair enough as good sites take a lot of time and energy to develop. However, some sites are simply stuffed with ads,

Haha! Yeah pretty much just blocks some bad sites. I only installed it very recently after seeing someone here was using it (and looking it up). I am still weaning myself off Avast.

Well, that was an innovative spam attempt. They quoted f33dm3 and added their spam link to the quote.
