I only have 3 to reduce fingerprinting uBlock Origin Bitwarden Return YouTube Dislike
What are the others on top all I know is ublock origin and privacy badger.
From left to right excluding the ones you already knew: SimpleLogin, CanvasBlocker, DuckDuckGo, Malwarebytes, SponserBlock, Buster: Captcha Solver, Auto Tab Discard
Bit warden is a must for me
I’ve had adblockers and Facebook gate installed for ages as well.
I think I’ll grab the youtube ones you have here I’m tired of ads
Check out Dearrow. It’s a new extension from sponsorblock’s developer which removes clickbaity thumbnails and replaces them with crowdsourced ones
I tried using another extension that replaced the thumbnail with a frame from the video, which just led to it being more confusing to parse. Community sourcing this might be a better solution.
Edit: This is much better and I’ve already started adding titles and thumbnails.
Thank you for contributing
Crowdsourced thumbnails?
Lol
Id rather it was just a snippet of the channels banner or something.
uBlock Origin, CanvasBlocker, Chameleon (protection from fingerprinting, browser profile spoofing), I still don’t care about cookies, SingleFile, Long Screenshot.
If you use firefox it already has a pretty dam good screenshot extension built in
dont use grammarly spyware. i would recommend useragent switcher
it’s spyware? do you know of anything similar I should switch to?
Its basically a keylogger that checks EVERYTHING you type
Why do you think its company is valued so high?
They know everything you type. Even if you dont send it.
(Im not aware of an alternative. But if there is one its probably working the same way?)
i hate to say this, but manually checking your writing is unfortunately the best option. unless it is running locally and open source, it is by definition a key-logger, no matter who operates it. if u need to use it, i would suggest only using it for important and non-sensitive content, and disabling it the rest of the time
I found LanguageTool and it seems to be open-source, is it safe?
it really depends on your threat model and convenience/privacy tradeoff. i personally wouldnt use it, but i doubt its that bad, although i would suggest to use the webpage only, not the browser extension. at the end of the days theres obviously bigger things to worry about, but every part counts
it seems I can run it locally, but the information in the guide is beyond my knowledge
uBlock Origin, 1Password, GNOME Shell integration.
As you already have so many Youtube extensions, you should check out sponsorblock. It lets you automatically skip ads within the video itself. And if not done yet, you can do it yourself for the community.
It’s already there in the top bar :)
It’s already pinned to the toolbar though. Anything else you’d recommend?
Enhancer for youtube. https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/enhancer-for-youtube/ Or ImprovedTube https://github.com/code-charity/youtube
I have 19. Mostly just things to enhance sites I visit.
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)
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.
None. But I have 11 active ones on Vivaldi.
