The list:
My password manager of choice. I like free and open source software. I pay for a yearly subscription because I needed:
It does two things:
Couldn't live without it.
I like dark mode. I use it to make web pages match my desktop theme so *everything* on my computer looks very *pleasant*.
Hides channels I don't want to see.
Don't fuck with paste!
It's supposed to make sure that YouTube only uses H264. I don't know if it has made my experience better.
I don't know why this isn't just a built in feature to the browser. It should be.
I swear, GDPR is great, but damn, these cookie popups are useless if everyone just quickly dismisses them anyway.
Hover over images/links to get a larger size. Indispensilbe for the mouse user. I'm trying to figure out a way I can replace it with efficient Tridactyl movements though.
Do you miss inbox.google.com? This gets you most of the way there.
Great for single monitor workstations (laptops) I don't use it much at my desktop with multi-monitors, but it is very useful when you only have one monitor.
Basically it puts multiple browser windows in one window. This can keep your Alt+Tab cleaner since there will be fewer windows. Less of a problem on Linux when you can Super+~ between application windows, but still a helpful extension I find. Actually strike that, super useful even on linux because Super+~ switches between ALL browser windows on every workspace.
Replaces YouTube comments with Reddit comments. I don't like reddit comments (sometimes) but I hate YouTube comments even more.
I'm participating in Mozilla's experiment. I haven't used this yet.
Basically spying software that spies on everything I do in my browser. I also have the desktop application installed so Rescuetime knows what I do on my computer all the time. Really hoping they don't get hacked.
Jeez, I have a lot of YouTube related extensions. It's a terrible website that needs to be fixed I guess. Anyways, this extensions is absolutely necessary. Blocks *all* advertisements. Even ones that people speak from their mouths. However, please donate to creators that make content you enjoy. Also, contribute to SponsorBlock by marking ad sections on videos you watch.
Rapid Serial Visual Presentation. Read extremely quickly by flashing words in place instead of reading from left to right. Love using this to read long posts in Gemini space and on the Web. And with Tridactyl I can quickly select blocks of text and speed read them all using just my keyboard.
For when you need to automatically refresh a webpage. Works great.
Probably the most useful extension I have but with the steepest learning curve. Use Vim keybindings in the browser for navigation. I feel *very* powerful navigating around with it.
For Vim beginners I recommend Vimium instead.
Blocks what pihole misses (pihole doesn't miss, this just blocks the spots where the ads would have been.) Power user tip: Go into settings and turn on "Block annoyances" and "Cloud Sync" (I don't know why cloud sync isn't enabled by default)
Shortens URLS
