    I think all of these also have Chrome versions, but still better on FF due to being able to install (or side-load if not listed or not whitelisted for mobile) onto the mobile version. The day I learned how to get non-whitelisted ones to install and install from xpi was game over for bothering with other mobile browsers.

    • FastStream for downloading videos from YT and a lot of other sites (I daily use it for grabbing stuff on Twitter)
    • Bypass Paywalls Clean for the obvious (this one is to the dev’s not github but same kind of site site as it has to be installed via xpi)
    • Watch on Odysee for seeing if a YT channel also uploads to Odysee to go watch there if possible and at least give my view there
    • SponsorBlock for being able to skip hard-coded ads from the uploads and other sections of YT videos
    • DeArrow for being able to view titles for YT videos that are more reflective of content
    • Wayback Machine for saving pages to Archive.org along with saving them to my account on there.
    • Privacy Possum for more aggressive blocking of tracking (though it does require remembering it is on if a site breaks as it will block things that uBO isn’t the cause of the issue)

        It’s basically having website cookies completely isolated in the same profile. You can also create containers for each website automatically so they can’t talk to each other. If you like having multiple emails from the same provider open, you can do that without logging out or making a new Firefox profile, so it’s like having all your settings and add-ons with the website flexibility of another profile.

    Adnauseam Silently click-spams ads to drain their bandwidth, with the purpose of making the horrible advertising business unprofitable.

      Adblocking is a more efficient way to make adversiting unprofitable, as it avoid wasting both yours’ and adtech’s bandwidth.

      Wasting resources isn’t a great strategy, even if someone else is paying for it.

      this is built on ublock origin, so if your using it get rid of ublock origin as well.

      Wouldn’t chameleon make you just as trackable unless you’re also switching your vpn every time you switch user agents?

        In general user agents dont do much although i didnt scrutinize chamrlron. You could use a foxyproxy tab. I generally use the super generic kind of antifingerprinting options w foxyproxy, but presumably they would work together

    Tridactyl is a must for me. It’s as close to the Qutebrowser experience as I can find (especially with ‘:guiset none’) but I get to keep my ublock/sponsorblocks.
