Browser: Firefox, gonna name stuff i don't see mentioned yet

'Multi Account Containers' + 'Container Tabs Sidebar' + 'Switch Container' + 'Temporary Containers' + ~~'don't care about cookies'~~ 'Consent-o-matic'
basically allows you to easily have multiple accounts on websites while also making sure everything stays contained to its own bubble, and anything I don't have a dedicated container for gets a temporary container that deletes the cookies after a bit ~~in order for me to both not care about cookies and also not get any cookies.~~ at this point mostly because I don't like accidentally having an account on a non-contained instance

ff2mpv - easily launch videos in mpv, requires a bit of setup

Image Search Options - finding the source of most drawings, spotting which anime a clip is from etc

Yomichan for quick access to locally installed dictionaries (for Japanese in this case)
Toggle Clipboard

My list for Firefox:

• Always on Top
• Display #Anchors
• Firefox Multi-Account Containers
• Regex Search
• Simple Tab Groups
• Stylus
• uBlock Origin

• MarkDownload is wonderful
• FoxyGestures: Pull left to go back, scribble 'Z' to close a tab
• Omnivore: Read stuff later
• CORS Everywhere
• Tab Containers
• Container Proxy (I could never get the built-in Tab Container function to work, this just lets me set certain tabs to hit the proxy)
• uBlock Origin, naturally

I use Firefox and the arkenfox user.js, which is not an extension, but helps with privacy. For the extensions, though, they are as follows:

• uBlock Origin // on medium mode (Check out what blocking modes are if you don't know them already)
• LibRedirect // to redirect to more privacy respecting frontends
• Skip Redirect // for increased privacy in terms of redirects
• Smart Referer // on strict mode. I use this as I have set network.http.referer.XOriginPolicy to 0 as 2 was a little too strict for me

I think more extensions than these would probably hurt my setup. I have followed the advice from the arkenfox wiki. Check it out if you want to look into a more private and secure Firefox configuration. Also feel free to criticize or ask questions about my setup :)

-uBlock Origin

-Sponsorblock

-Unhook for youtube

-unpinterested

-panicbutton

Also adguard dns filtering on my mobile devices. Would highly recommend panicbutton as a quick way to set a task aside without opening a new window and unhook to filter out the trash YouTube is shoveling onto the home page
