Is there a more privacy oriented version of Grammarly?
None. But I have 11 active ones on Vivaldi.
You can hide youtube shorts with Ublock Orgin’s element picker :)
uBlock Origin, 1Password, GNOME Shell integration.

Ruffle :D
An open source Flash player emulator. I definitely recommend it because I also contribute to it. But it’s great, if you stumble across any old websites using Flash games or animations, you can just continue to play and watch them with it :DThat’s cool. Will this ever be needed and/or usable on Android - idk much about Flash except that it’s no longer supported but still somewhat popular because of it’s past and capabilities.
It is usable on Android. Websites can embed Ruffle in their backend, then everyone can just visit the website and play the flash game / watch the flash animation without installing anything at all. If you play many browser games, chances are good you’ve already used Ruffle. And that goes for mobile browsers as well; I can even play flash games on Safari on my iPhone if the websites embed it.
I’m not sure about if / how you can install the extension (which you can use to access all flash content, even if the websites themselves didn’t embed it) on mobile browsers, but I think that there is a Ruffle app for Android, and a demo page used to execute any swf (flash) files.However, most flash games are made for computer and some may even require mouse hover events or something which just doesn’t exist on any mobile phones. So while Ruffle works there, the flash games of course also need to be playable with a touch screen.
I usually use UBlock Origin, Privacy Badger, Dark Reader, Firefox Containers, Privacy Redirect, Bitwarden and Decentraleyes but idk if I would recommend using that many. Addons have a lot of access to your private data by desing (they modify websites and requests) so it’s very important to keep an eye on the installed ones and organizations or indivituals behind them! My personal wakeup moment was the sale of Nano Adblocker where the buyer pushed an update with questionable code, that had a good reputation and definitely wasn’t some noname one so bad stuff can happen quicker than you might expect!
I use, Ublock Orgin(King), NoScript, Firefox containers, ViolentMonkey, Skip Redirect(I dont really like this but the ArkenFox guy recommends it), return youtube dislikes and Sponsor block.
None on personal computer. On school computer I have Foxy Proxy. There’s school proxy server and I kind of provide 2 of my own. For that I use Android Proxy server app from Google Play. Unfortunately I didn’t find anything similar on F-Droid.
First one is HTTP proxy which allows me to go through VPN and use DNS server of my choice and second is TCP relay to Orbot because why not. So I can just connect to school WiFi and start those proxy servers. I also tried SOCKS5, but that seems to ignore my DNS settings, so I don’t use that. Also I don’t need it anyway.
It allows me to quickly switch between proxy servers. Pretty convenient.I try to keep it to minimal, but I have these enabled
Firefox Multi-Account Containers, GNOME Shell integration, KeePassXC-Browser, Snowflake, uBlock Origin
I find the keepassXc extension isn’t really needed since its got a pretty good auto-type feature built in
Idk I don’t really find them comparable. Anyways, I’m only ever using the autotype in vm consoles where I can’t copypaste.
Extensions nom nom memory, so I use as few as possible and just use uBlock, Dark Reader, and Bitwarden
Ram is cheap! Get more ram?
The number of extensions required to make youtube not shit is outstanding. They’ve tried to make the user experience as unbearable as possible .
Then get YouTube premium. $30/month split across 6 people, and you give more monetization to the channels you watch.
Lol 30$ may be nothing to you but that 1/5 of the regular paycheck in here. I’d rather not starve.
Split among 6 people that’s $5
I don’t even pay 5$ for my internet connection. Okey, let’s assume i find 6 people i know that are willing to pay 5$ (a whole day worth of work from a paycheck that’s barely enough for bare minimum necessities ). The steps needed to pay youtube are as follows :
- spoof my location to some western country to be able to create a credit card(illegal and the card can be removed at any moment )
-since our currency is virtually worthless and the gouvernement doesn’t have a regular legal place to buy foreign currency. I have to buy currency from the black market at 1.5 their worth with a high chance of being scammed. (buying foreign currency from the black market is in a grey area judicially but it’s technically also illegal )
I’d rather install youtube Revanced .
Okay then don’t use YouTube or stop bitching.
Stop sucking big corpo dicks. You’re a worthless number to them. If it was legal they’d infect you with the worst malware imaginable to sell your data.

But unfortunately even YT premium doesn’t solve some of the reasons (Shorts, “featured” content, etc.) why YT is so frustrating to use.
why YT is so frustrating to use.
Because they can, we still use it. It will get even worse.
What’s lemmy link?
On desktop, I have uBlock Origin, Disconnect, Privacy Badger, Clear-URLs, Decentraleyes, Bitwarden, Multi Account Containers and Facebook container, old.reddit (which I no longer use since I left the site), RES (same with old.reddit). I don’t really use a lot of app-specific extensions and I’m more focused on the general privacy and security ones.
I think Disconnect and Decentraleyes do the same thing right? While its slightly worse there is a ublock orgin filter list you can use instead of clearUrls (https://raw.githubusercontent.com/DandelionSprout/adfilt/master/LegitimateURLShortener.txt)
