So, aside from the ad block everyone loves and I don't have the characters to type, what do we recommend?

[–] Waluigis_Talking_Buttplug@lemmy.world 39 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Sponsor block for youtube works great, grease monkey for scripts, too

Consent-O-Matic (has to be downloaded from the main website, and not the android sub category)

And what you wish to have other than that depends on your needs.

I myself have an extension to unlock Bing AI on Firefox android.

Google Search Fixer (for when I need a Google service)

TWP - Translate Web Pages

And more.

Redirect AMP to HTML if you hate amp like me

A bit niche, but I love Shinigami Eye. It highlights trans-friendly sites and profiles in green and transphobic ones in red.

I switched to Ff on all devices last week and I have no complaints. Other than email, I'm slowly migrating from all Google products.

Now do iOS. (Yes I know Apple has to release their stranglehold on the browser first.)

[–] miridius@lemmy.world 38 points 2 years ago (2 children)

Yeah that's never gonna happen, unless the EU forces them by law.

One of the many reasons I'm so so happy to be back with an Android phone after having to use an iPhone for work for a few years

[–] onlinepersona@programming.dev 14 points 2 years ago (4 children)

The Eu has forced them: Digital Markets Act --> alternative app stores.

iirc apple doesn't allow apps that are able to download and run extra code. I know this was the reason the game mindustry didn't have mod support on iOS. I could be wrong tho

WebKit browser, on iOS, with (most) Firefox and Chrome extensions possible.

Y’all are welcome :D (also @AllYourSmurf)

a long-overdue and very welcome addition to mobile.

[–] Substance_P@lemmy.world 27 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Writing from a privacy perspective remember, browser add-ons can potentially make it easier to fingerprint or recognize an individual. But still, I can't help but love this new FF feature.

Also you can put the url bar on the bottom 😍

That's not new, though.

That's possible for quite some years, good that you've found it though.

I guess time to switch to Android!

[–] kellyaster@kbin.social 14 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Bah, no sign of "Save webP as PNG or JPEG" yet.

[–] force@lemmy.world 6 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago) (2 children)

what's wrong with webp? it's a significantly more efficient file format (like 20% less file size for the same quality) and is supported everywhere by now. if anything, the default should be webp for image types that can be both lossy and losslessly compressed

[–] Interstellar_1@pawb.social 28 points 2 years ago (8 children)

Lots of platforms, even image editing don't support webp

Surprisingly not everywhere yet, some messaging apps don't support webp yet

Hail to the king, baby

[–] kszeslaw@szmer.info 11 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Didn't they already support all addons a few years ago, and then limited it to the hand-picked ones?

[–] Desistance@lemmy.world 6 points 2 years ago

Yes. It was restricted since they moved to web extensions. They removed the restrictions on this release.

[–] INeedMana@lemmy.world 8 points 2 years ago (4 children)

over 450 add-ons

But no Cookie AutoDelete among them. Firefox Nightly is still better

[–] Tibert@jlai.lu 9 points 2 years ago (3 children)

It is, but only if you go on the main website, and not the android sub category https://addons.mozilla.org/fr/firefox/addon/cookie-autodelete/
