Favorite Firefox Extensions

[Trench_Man]

I have been diving more and more into customizing my browsing experience on Firefox and among the must haves like Ublock I have also found some cool extensions I really like such as Worldwide Radio which lets you tune in to various stations right in the browser and listen to music as you browse! I'm actually listening to Jamaican radio as I type this lol

What are some extensions you like a lot?

I try to keep the number of extensions down, but they keep adding up anyway. Mostly i just use functional stuff, more tools than toys.

I have uMatrix, uBlock, AdNauseam, and Temporary Containers for adblocking and privacy. uBlock comes built into LibreWolf (my Firefox fork of choice), and is better at cosmetic filters than AdNauseam. uMatrix probably breaks adblocker by blocking the ads first. It lets me control what embedded stuff gets loaded in what pages from what sources.

uBlacklist and Privacy Redirect are in the same vein. The first hides certain sites in search results, the second redirects certain sites to less terible alternative frontends, like Reddit to Libreddit or YouTube to Invidious.

I also use Leechblock to make sure i don't spend too much time on this and a few other sites, and just yesterday i installed Mind the Time to track screen time by site, since i'm curious to see where i spend the most time.

Altho you didn't ask what extensions i use, you asked about favorites. I'd say uMatrix is my single favorite browser extension. If i had to use just one, i'd probably choose it even over uBlock.

I like DecentralEyes and Privacy Badger for blocking trackers and other web crap.

I've also used FraidyCat in the past, which is an RSS feed reader in your browser. It was great until I got my own MiniFlux server set up.

MeasureIt! is one I've used for ages, and it adds a little measuring tape to the page so that you can measure out pixels for graphic design work. ColorZilla is also helpful, because it lets you pick up colors from around the web and get their hex values.

i only have three browser extensions! i won't install anything that's not my favorite 

first is stylus! i used to put all my userstyles directly into firefox's userContent.css file, but stylus makes it soooo much easier to make/edit/organize them. it can fetch styles from and upload styles to userstyles.world as well.

second is uBlock for blocking ads, as others have already mentioned.

third is Zotero's browser extension for saving articles to my library. it's the citation manager i use for writing papers at work.

back when i was on mastodon, i used streetpass for mastodon, which lets you know when site you've visited have mastodon accounts linked to them. it's very cute, but i don't have a use for it anymore!

there's all the good, reliable stuff for adblock, paywall bypassing, and fighting the good fight against the sludge and slop of the web, but i think folks have covered those sufficiently, so i'll share... my favourite extensions that don't do that!

one of the first extensions i put on firefox was, naturally, the nyan cat youtube progress bar. i believe the name speaks for itself 

i also gave myself a custom scrollbar, to match my firefox theme.

i use tabliss for notes, to track my work day, and to just have rotating seasonal gifs greet me whenever i open a new tab.

sage-like is my go-to rss reader. very easy and intuitive, and has given me an easy breezy way to keep up with newsletters, webcomics, and so on without my emails getting too busy.

finally, onetab is probably the extension i'm the most reliant on. i open a lot of tabs every day, and i've never really been one for using bookmarks, so it fits into my workflow pretty much flawlessly.

I really rely on News Feed Eradicator to keep me from scrolling, especially through reddit and youtube.

Another youtube fix is: DeArrow. It changes the thumbnails for most video previews which makes the whole grid so much more calming and practical.

Privacy Badger and Adblock are the ride or dies of course xx

of course, everyone likes ublock and privacy badger and the sort.

indiewiki buddy is good if you'd rather support independent wikis for games and stuff instead of fandom wikis.
i use the stampbook to save buttons of websites i like, stamps, blinkies, whatever web graphics i find
colorzilla allows you to color pic from web images and sites and honestly whatever you need to colorpick
unhook, because i hate youtube shorts and seeing them with a firey passion. note that if someone sends you a short you want to watch, you should turn shorts back on temporarily or you wont be able to see em
distract me not in case i need to focus. or just to not see sites (lik

(edit... i also want to include some cool themes)

i have a fair bit of extensions:

noScript and uBlock quite useful to make some websites less annoying
youtube dislike, sponsorblock, and dearrow are quite nice to make youtube a bit nicer, though i use invidious anyways with
redirector, a really nice generic url redirector i use to avoid certain sites and use alternate frontends
wayback machine is nice to have when you need it, and also it helps contribute to saving websites automatically which is really nice
we were online is a smallweb ish extension that saves your mouse movements and shows a cute little graph of your lifetime movements and also doubles as a timer for how long youve spent on certain sites (though its a bit innacurate since it doesnt consider when the window is unfocused)
egg room is a 100% silly extension that has a random chance to redirect a page to the egg room from deltarune
