    Looking at the comments, interest in privacy and adblocking seem high. But the actual addons suggested here are often redundant or even worse, make you easier to track. Instead, take a look at the Arkenfox wiki, which is more or less the gold standard for browser privacy. Both LibreWolf and Mullvad Browser, practically the most privacy/anonymity oriented browsers out there, right behind Tor, either rely on it or stick very closely to it.
    I highly recommend reading the entire wiki from the start. You dont have to do everything it says, obviously, but even if you dont do anything it will give you a better understanding of browser privacy. And lastly, do not use Chrome or any chromium based browser if you care about privacy and a free and open internet. Even if you only use a chromium based browser, you help increase googles monopoly.

      An extra thumbs up for mullvad vpn from me. It’s a bit more costly than the mainstream ones but you don’t have to subscribe to any plan. Just pay month by month, absolutely no personal data needed.

      Thank you 00 and crius for introducing Mullvad. Been looking for a VPN that doesn’t lock you into any subscription plans.

        Mullvad VPN is great! Though I was talking about the Mullvad Browser (which is great as well and integrates well with their VPN service).

    uBlock Origin

    Decentraleyes

    Consent-o-matic

    These are essential to me. Consent o matic automatically fills out cookie pop-ups by opting out of everything for you. Some of these cookie things take a while to process which shows how devious they are set up

      This is incredible, I have to try it. As a cloud to butt user I want to get a combo somewhere

    Not much myself to be honest.

    • uBlock Origin, to make the web a bearable experience
    • Yomichan for learning Japanese

    And that’s it. I don’t really need much more.

    My list for Firefox:

    • uBlock Origin

    uBlock Origin
    Dark Reader
    Return Dislikes for YouTube

    Most other needs can be configured with Firefox whether it be css stuff like dark scroll bars or browser behaviour. The fewer add-ons the better.

    • uBlock Origin
    • Privacy Badger
    • HTTPS Everywhere
    • Firefox Relay
    • NoScript (off 99% of the time since it’s not really needed)
    • RES (until reddit does some stupid shit and bans it or something so I can finally quit it entirely)
    • TinEye Reverse Image Search

    That’s basically it. But after reading a few comments I added:

    • Consent-o-matic
    • Decentraleyes
  • NightOwl@lemmy.oneEnglish

    • Ublock Origin: to block ads of course
    • SponsorBlock: to skip youtube sponsor spots and begging for likes and dislikes and leave a comment and ring the notification bell. Or skip straight to high lights.
    • FireFox Multiaccount Container: For separate containers to keep accounts isolated from each other
    • old reddit reddit: will be looking for a teddit.net redirect now
    • Reddit Enhancement Suite: when used with reddit was my best friend

    A bunch of other key extensions already listed, but what I don’t see that I use often is redirector. It lets you put in regex patterns to redirect window locations to another destination. For example I’ve used it to redirect any reddit.com link to old.reddit.com, use it to remove tracking parameters from URLS, redirect youtube to yewtube, etc.

    For sake of the thread though, here’s a short list I have on all systems

    • Redirector
    • Ublock Origin
    • Firefox multi containers
    • Bitwarden
    • Ghunt companion
    • Leech block
    • Noscript

    Used to have

    • RES
    • Modtoolbox
    • Privacy Badger
    • HTTPS everywhere

    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

    Simple Tab Groups helps me alot for organizing windows and tabs for certain topics

    FediFollow is great for following people on other instances without much copy/paste work
