I prefer Firefox and AdNauseum. I like seeing how the false ad clicks add up over time.

I'm still waiting for a community-based project of passion like Reddit Enhancement Suite.
Lemmy Enhancement Suite when?! lol
The community-based project of passion to enhance lemmy is already here... it's lemmy.
This isn't reddit. There isn't a big black box and company around the service that is preventing the community from making it what they want it to be.
Sure there can be flavors, but I'd guess if there's the type of consensus around the usefulness as there is with RES, then why wait for a separate project to shoehorn features on top of lemmy when the folks behind lemmy seem quite receptive to contributions?
That's not entirely true. One of the lead developers of Lemmy almost blocked infinite scrolling being implemented before the other lead developer stepped in and approved it. This can absolutely happen with other features, other features can get blocked.
There's nothing wrong with having additional optional features through an addon, especially when those features are optional and also don't have to go through an approval process. That's the power of addons.

I want features the web UI doesn't have, like an inage viewer with zoom gestures and a direct file share button.
Thunder has that, and as a foss app I will be able to add more stuff that I want, like easy toggling or dismissing of read posts, and more.
The trick for me has been diversification. Firefox replaced RIF.
I use voyager on android lol
That's the beauty of lemmy and other open protocols, you can experience it however you like. If you prefer the stock web experience, it's there, if you prefer an alternative web experience, it's there, if you prefer an app, there are several to choose from. If you don't like any of that, you can even spend some time and make your own crazy thing.
