In general:

  • Bypass Paywalls

  • NoScript
  • Simple Tab Groups
  • Tampermonkey
  • UBlock
  • UnloadTabs (Vor allem für Müll wie MS Teams)

Most of those Addons are for me to not go insane or blind.

How do you use no script these days, are you turning it on after visiting a page, or whitelisting when things don't work?

[–] [email protected] 4 points 2 years ago

I whitelist after visiting a page, if it breaks majorly so I can't use it. And often I only need to allow the main page's scripts and maybe video., img. or cdn. subdomains.

Others have already mentioned some excellent vertical tab add-ons, so I'll post Tabs Aside, which is a super convenient way to save and load a window full of tabs. Saves having like 20 windows open with different stuff you don't want to lose.

Lots of great extensions have been listed already, but here's one that I haven't seen mentioned yet and I really like: https://unhook.app/

[–] [email protected] 3 points 2 years ago

Nice! UnHook removes YouTube recommended videos, related videos, comments, video suggestions wall, homepage recommendations, trending tab & comments

Aside from the popular ublock origin I'd get Sponsor Block. Too bad my mobile version doesn't support it.

Is there anything that disables / stops sticky videos when scrolling on mobile?

I get pissed off when I'm reading a news article, scroll down, and their headline video (often just an ad) clips itself to the top 1/3 of the screen.

uBlock Origin and Mouse Gestures.

Literally all I have ever used. I love mouse gestures so much because of Opera. I was using that for a bit before I discovered Firefox back in the day.

You should go through the suggestions made on this post. They are great. Maybe, sometime later I'll create a list and add it to this post's description later.

uBlock

The Internet is not the same without it.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 years ago

There are definitely people who don't know what adblockers are and the beauty of uBlock.

The Internet is not the same without it.

And Google is trying very hard to break this gem.
