Chameleon, great privacy tool, but can break some crappy sites, unless you can configure it so it doesn't. ScrollAnywhere, a mobile like scrolling with middle mouse button. I find it more efficient and intuitive. Ublock ofc (Forgot name), an addon that lets you skip link shorteners with ads.

Thanks for the suggestions!

Is there anything that disables / stops sticky videos when scrolling on mobile?

I get pissed off when I'm reading a news article, scroll down, and their headline video (often just an ad) clips itself to the top 1/3 of the screen.

In general:

  • Bypass Paywalls
  • Dark Reader
  • HTTPS Everywhere
  • I don't care about Cookies
  • Karrinator
  • KeePassXC Browser
  • NoScript
  • Simple Tab Groups
  • Tampermonkey
  • UBlock
  • UnloadTabs (Vor allem für Müll wie MS Teams)
  • User Agent Switcher and Manager
  • Vencord
  • Video Download Helper

For YouTube:

  • AutoReplay for YouTube
  • Disable YouTube Seek by Number
  • Return YouTube Dislike
  • SponsorBlock

Most of those Addons are for me to not go insane or blind.

How do you use no script these days, are you turning it on after visiting a page, or whitelisting when things don't work?

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 year ago

I whitelist after visiting a page, if it breaks majorly so I can't use it. And often I only need to allow the main page's scripts and maybe video., img. or cdn. subdomains.

Lots of great extensions have been listed already, but here's one that I haven't seen mentioned yet and I really like: https://unhook.app/

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago

Nice! UnHook removes YouTube recommended videos, related videos, comments, video suggestions wall, homepage recommendations, trending tab & comments

uBlock Origin and Mouse Gestures.

Literally all I have ever used. I love mouse gestures so much because of Opera. I was using that for a bit before I discovered Firefox back in the day.

Others have already mentioned some excellent vertical tab add-ons, so I'll post Tabs Aside, which is a super convenient way to save and load a window full of tabs. Saves having like 20 windows open with different stuff you don't want to lose.

Aside from the popular ublock origin I'd get Sponsor Block. Too bad my mobile version doesn't support it.

uBlock

The Internet is not the same without it.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago

There are definitely people who don't know what adblockers are and the beauty of uBlock.

The Internet is not the same without it.

And Google is trying very hard to break this gem.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

Some of these are specialized tools, but to start, I make big, big use of dedicated containers, Google, Amazon, Reddit, Pixiv, Tumblr, and Discord. Sidebar note, uBlock Origin, NoScript, Bypass Paywalls Clean, Container Sidebar, Downloads Sidebar, Get RSS Feed URL, Pixiv Toolkit, FediShare, Tumblr - Post to Tumblr, Twitter Gif & Video Downloader, and Video Downloadhelper
