Firefox Multi-Account Containers has to be one of my favorite extensions. Mixing work accounts and personal accounts in the same browser session but in different tabs has made my workflow much more efficient. You can force bind sites to a container so that you don’t accidentally use your personal account for anything workplace related.

I shared one on reddit that replaces pictures of spiders with kittens and it was met with a pretty shocking amount of hatred and vitriol brought my way, so nervous to share it here. But still I thought it was nice.

Consent-O-Matic
Automatic handling of GDPR consent forms

DuckDuckGo Privacy Essentials
I mostly use this for the email protection (highly recommended!)

ScrollAnywhere
Drag scrollbar with middlemouse button anywhere on the page.

I use Firefox. Other than Ublock Origin and Bitwarden, these are some of my favourites :

Temporary Containers is a new favourite of mine. It works just like container tabs, but the difference is that it deletes the history of that tab once it’s closed, similar to Incognito/Private instance.

Reddit Comments for Youtube - If a youtube video has been linked to reddit, then it basically gives a small box which lists all the subs the video has been linked to and shows you the comments. If you’re logged into reddit, then it will allow you to comment as well.

Keepa for Amazon. Let’s you track price history for any product, so you can see if a sale is actually a real sale or not.

Tab Session Manager - Basically lets you save tab sessions.

Enhancer for Youtube and Pockettube Subscription Manager - Gives various youtube enhancements.

Stylus - To style websites. I mainly use it to fix the youtube thumbnail and font size.

• ublock origin
• privacy badger
• decentraleyes
• clear URLs
• facebook container
• https everywhere
• firefox multi-account containers
• dictionary anywhere

I wish you’d recommended that commenters keep to “one extension per top-level comment,” making it easier to upvote the best ones 😅

Anyway, my “one pick” is definitely Tridactyl — a thorough, absurdly powerful poweruser-mode for FireFox based in Vi-like modal interaction.

• LibRedirect Alternative open source frontends, very useful to survive on sites like Youtube, Twitter, Imgur etc.

• Voat - Reddit Comments on YouTube & Web Pages Not so useful any more, but you can read what Reddit communities have to say about websites

• Snowflake Fight cencorship

from https://beehaw.org/comment/80030:

uBO, of course. note: you guys don’t need ClearURLs with this list added.
LibRedirect for automatically opening Youtube, Twitter, TikTok etc. links in their privacy-focused front-ends. I just make sure to disable all the instances by esmailelbob since he’s a little homophobic shithead
Buster for automatic captcha solving
Consent-O-Matic automatically clicks through cookies banner to deny all the cookies that aren’t necessary, which I like better than just hiding the cookie banner
Redirect AMP to HTML because fuck AMP and fuck Google

So, let’s try to compile a list.

• “uBlock” does not need any kind of introduction. Most of the people who answered the thread use it anyway. But it is my favourite!
• “Language tool” to help me spell things properly, lol
• “I don’t care about cookies” to get rid of annoying GDPR-compliance banners
• “FoxyProxy” to easily switch between proxies
• “Vimium C” to navigate the web using vi-like shortcuts
• “SponsorBlock”. I don’t use YouTube as much nowadays but when I do, this add-on helps me skip in-video advertisements and irrelevant moments
• “Search by image”
• “Rikaichamp” is a great add-on for anyone who often needs to look up Japanese words
• “Runet Censorship Bypass” because censorship circumvention is not a crime in my country. Yet.

Honestly, I thought it will be shorter. It makes me appreciate the authors of all these add-ons even more. If it weren’t for their efforts, web browsing would be a much less enjoyable experience.

Cookieautodelete is sooo underrated.

Question: Does anyone know what security and privacy extensions are considered redundant in light of recent Firefox improvements in the past few years?

For example, I saw several people recommend Privacy Badger for example. I thought I heard somewhere that was considered not needed now. I do not know for sure so am frankly confused by this and some of the other extensions which I too use to use.

For me I have kind of stopped using most security/privacy extensions except uBlockOrigin and then just configuring Firefox rather tightly. Not sure if this is best approach or not. On one hand every extension increases the attack surface and the uniqueness of the browser so there is a point about less is better, on the other hand some may be useful too.

Thoughts? Thanks.

Firefox: uBlock Origin, Bitwarden, Simple Tab Groups, New Tab Suspender, SponsorBlock for YouTube.

I’m using FF and I only have one extension, it’s ublock origin

• bitwarden
• simplelogin
• proton vpn

I just use these three.
