A nice place to discuss rumors, happenings, innovations, and challenges in the technology sphere. We also welcome discussions on the intersections of technology and society. If it’s technological news or discussion of technology, it probably belongs here.

Remember the overriding ethos on Beehaw: Be(e) Nice. Each user you encounter here is a person, and should be treated with kindness (even if they’re wrong, or use a Linux distro you don’t like). Personal attacks will not be tolerated.

Ublock Origin is an obvious one, but I also can't stand not having Foxy Gestures anymore. It adds customizable mouse gestures, so you can set it up to have easy swipes to go back a page, reload a page, close a tab, etc, and it feels wonderful and smooth to use compared to just using the traditional buttons to do everything. Honestly it's kinda wild to me that this isn't more popular now that people are so used to phone gestures. It's good for the same reasons!

  • Consent-O-Matic - Automatic handling of GDPR consent forms
  • DuckDuckGo Privacy Essentials - I mostly use this for the email protection
  • ScrollAnywhere - Drag scrollbar with middlemouse button anywhere on the page.

ScrollAnywhere is amazing. I've used BetterMouse on Mac for several months now and have grown accustomed to scrolling by click-dragging. Really wish there was some sort of similar app for Windows and Linux, but unfortunately I've spent hours searching and haven't found anything.

Consent-O-Matic is amazing, highly recommended.
