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.

I previously used Privacy Badger, but I block basically everything with NoScript anyway, so it was redundant. I also used HTTPS Everywhere but you can enable that in most (all?) browsers now anyway, so you don't need an extension any longer (the highest form of success for an extension). I also previously used LastPass, but I got out before they had their security issues, and importantly changed every password when I transitioned. On work computer I have the 1password extension.
NoScript is redundant when using uBlock Origin in advanced mode as well.

Browser: Firefox, gonna name stuff i don't see mentioned yet
'Multi Account Containers' + 'Container Tabs Sidebar' + 'Switch Container' + 'Temporary Containers' + ~~'don't care about cookies'~~ 'Consent-o-matic'
basically allows you to easily have multiple accounts on websites while also making sure everything stays contained to its own bubble, and anything I don't have a dedicated container for gets a temporary container that deletes the cookies after a bit ~~in order for me to both not care about cookies and also not get any cookies.~~ at this point mostly because I don't like accidentally having an account on a non-contained instance
ff2mpv - easily launch videos in mpv, requires a bit of setup
Image Search Options - finding the source of most drawings, spotting which anime a clip is from etc
Yomichan for quick access to locally installed dictionaries (for Japanese in this case)
Toggle Clipboard

I dont use HTTPS Everywhere anymore because its included in Firefox and Brave!
Edit: I only use Brave to do my school homework because firefox messes with the website we use sometimes.
On Firefox:
- uBlock Origin
- Bitwarden
- Decentraleyes
- Terms of Service; Didn't Read
- Firefox Multi-Account Containers
- Facebook Container
- Consent-O-Matic
- Don't Track Me Google
...and the add-ons not related to privacy:
- 10ten Japanese Reader (Rikaichamp)
- Zhongwen
- New Xkit
- Earth View from Google Earth
- Palette Creator
- Save to Notion
- Send to Outline
- Web to EPUB
I use most of these on Brave Browser, too.
The only one I use that wasn't mentioned yet is unpaywall, for finding scientific articles in open databases.
Vinegar on safari for iOS / macOS is probably the extension I find the most useful day to day. It replaces the usual YouTube video player with a standard html5 player. So no ads, and support for PiP.
- uBlock Origin
Important. I've added the Bypass Paywalls-filter as well, which makes browsing a lot more pleasant.
- SponsorBlock
I will not watch ads, not even one.
- I still don't care about cookies
This removes most of the annoyance of cookie banners and consent dialogs
- Redirect AMP to HTML
AMP sucks, rather not even see it
- Libredirect
A recent favorite - I started using this as Twitter on web was becoming increasingly unusable, and Nitter is a fine alternative. Now I use it for Twitter, TikTok, Imgur, Medium and Reddit.
