I really enjoy Firefox on Android as I can install a bunch of extensions and I find those extensions game changer, especially on the mobile.

One of my favorites are

  • Libredirect - literally one of my favorite ones. Redirects popular sites to privacy focused frontends, like YouTube to Invidious, etc.
  • uBlock Origin - I guess everyone knows this one
  • Privacy Badger - blocks trackers
  • Ghostery - blocks trackers, ads, scripts, etc.

What extensions do you guys use?

Ublock origin, Sponsor block, and NoScript

NoScript

I've been faithful to firefox almost since it's been out thanks to this. I can't imagine being on the internet with everything on a website on by default

A few years back NoScript was often recommended. I used it for a while but I'm not sure I did it right.

First time you go to a new website do you go through the process of allowing some scripts to make it usable?

A community shared list of preferences for each website would be handy! but I don't know if it's feasible in terms of privacy

Sponsorblock's been epic! Props to the coder and the contributors.
