I really enjoy Firefox on Android as I can install a bunch of extensions and I find those extensions game changer, especially on the mobile.

One of my favorites are

  • Libredirect - literally one of my favorite ones. Redirects popular sites to privacy focused frontends, like YouTube to Invidious, etc.
  • uBlock Origin - I guess everyone knows this one
  • Privacy Badger - blocks trackers
  • Ghostery - blocks trackers, ads, scripts, etc.

What extensions do you guys use?

uBlock Origin and DarkReader

Recently got into using RSS feeds, so RSSHub Radar was quite useful
Search by Image is good too

  • Sponsorblock
  • uBlock Origin
  • I still don't care about cookies
  • Augmented Steam
  • BetterTTV
  • YouTube Shorts Redirect
  • Gumbo
  • Bitwarden

These are all the extension I have installed and they are all my favourite tbh. I also have Firefox set to use strongest protection.

I may be biased, but I like Lemmy Infinite Scroller. It started out as a 20 minute project just as a proof of concept and then evolved into me trying to make an infinite scroller that works really well. It works well, I can't recall if I made it open-source but I didn't obfuscate the code or anything like that so it's practically open-source anyway even if I didn't make a repo for it. I just published the manifest v3 update of it last week so it's pretty futureproof too.

Other obvious extensions are uBlock Origin, uMatrix, and surprisingly one called Dark Background and Light Text (though DarkReader is also cool too).

Making a note to myself about Sponsorblock and chameleon

  • Stylus - I use it to apply some css to make youtube thumbnails smaller because the new huge ones drive me insane
  • Plasma Integration - Pretty self explanatory, just makes firefox better integrated with plasma
  • SponsorBlock
  • UltraWideo - useful for weird content with baked in letterboxing or pillaring

I thought you could only select from a pre-defined list of addons in Firefox mobile?

[–] communism@lemmy.ml 1 points 1 year ago

I think developers can upload their own addons for Android now. Or at least I saw quite a wide range of addons available when I went looking for some.

[–] mrvictory1@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

Not anymore, if you use desktop website of addons.mozilla.org, you can install almost anything.

Highlight or Hide Search Engine Results

i still use google, so being able to filter out the blogspam and fandom slop is a godsend for usability
