I just moved to Firefox and was wondering what extensions/themes people use and what’s reccomended
Also good just as a general post for all good Firefox Extensions & Themes ect.
Thanks!
- ublock origin (not just ublock)
- bitwarden as password manager
- Bypass Paywalls https://gitlab.com/magnolia1234/bypass-paywalls-firefox-clean
Fwiw, this is the kind of thread I used to love The Other Site for. Glad to find one here!
Vimium C - All by Keyboard – Get this Extension for 🦊 Firefox (en-US) https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/vimium-c/
Must-have addons for tab hoarders like myself.
I use both often but how well does Tab Session Manager work for you? I’ve been using it for years and have had this issue for years where often when I’d try to restore a session, a bunch of tabs would be lost and replaced with blank new tab pages. It’s really frustrating when I trust the extension with session up to literally 100s of tabs.
I have to say I’ve never had that happen, but I mostly use it as backup in case Firefox’s own session restore fails or is overwritten somehow. I’m not sure what you can do, sorry :/
Firefox is great mostly on its own, and I only use two extensions:
- uBlock Origin: Enough said.
- Disable Javascript: Works great for getting around a lot of paywalls.
In case you don’t know, Ublock origin can block JavaScript per site basis. Just hit the “more v” at the bottom
This is AWESOME, thanks so much!
In addition to ublock,
I would also suggest-
decentraleyes
Stores commonly used librarys localy,
instead of downloading them from a third party. -
clearURLs
Removes tracking parameters from links. -
google search fixer
Shows the more advanced search features,
That firefox for Android currently doesn’t get -
video Background Play Fix
What the name says,
Good when you use youtube in the browser.
-
One that is more specific to Lemmy, which I am working on
While this is extension is mine and I have an obvious bias, I am using the extension constantly for my personal use as well. Might be nice for others too :)
uBlock Origin is a must for ad blocking. Anything else is just extra flavour. I like SponserBlock and Return YT Dislikes.
- Inoreader
- Bitwarden
- uBlock
- Sponsorblock
- Dark Reader
- Font Changer
- Stylus
- Markdownload - web clipper
- Lasttab (Alt_Z back to last tab) A. Violentmonkey B. webcompat.com reporter C. Wikiwand D. YouTube Redux
I like to recommend Privacypossum, it returns garbage data to tracking companies: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/privacy-possum/
Ublock Origin and Adblock Plus
Unhook
Adblock Plus on top of uBlock?
Extensions I use:
- Bitwarden password manager
- Enhancer for youtube
- Firefox Multi Account Containers
- Old reddit redirect
- Reddit enhancement suite
- Return youtube dislike
- Search by image
- Simple Translate
- Sponsorblock for youtube
- Ublock origin
- User agent switcher
- Wayback machine
- Youtube audio
- Old reddit redirect
- Reddit enhancement suite
Not sure how much you need these anymore 👀
I still rely on reddit for technical related subreddits. Now lemmy has very few technical contributors or either the community is very new with only few posts.
ublock origin bitwarden cookie autodelete dark reader copy plain text mastodon or graze noscript sponsorblock and occasionally grammarly complete black theme
What does the Mastodon extension do?
