What does Lemmy use?
just installed darkReader, my retinas are thanking me
Looking at the comments, interest in privacy and adblocking seem high. But the actual addons suggested here are often redundant or even worse, make you easier to track. Instead, take a look at the Arkenfox wiki, which is more or less the gold standard for browser privacy. Both LibreWolf and Mullvad Browser, practically the most privacy/anonymity oriented browsers out there, right behind Tor, either rely on it or stick very closely to it.
I highly recommend reading the entire wiki from the start. You dont have to do everything it says, obviously, but even if you dont do anything it will give you a better understanding of browser privacy. And lastly, do not use Chrome or any chromium based browser if you care about privacy and a free and open internet. Even if you only use a chromium based browser, you help increase googles monopoly.An extra thumbs up for mullvad vpn from me. It’s a bit more costly than the mainstream ones but you don’t have to subscribe to any plan. Just pay month by month, absolutely no personal data needed.
Thank you 00 and crius for introducing Mullvad. Been looking for a VPN that doesn’t lock you into any subscription plans.
Mullvad VPN is great! Though I was talking about the Mullvad Browser (which is great as well and integrates well with their VPN service).
uBlock Origin
Decentraleyes
Consent-o-matic
These are essential to me. Consent o matic automatically fills out cookie pop-ups by opting out of everything for you. Some of these cookie things take a while to process which shows how devious they are set up
I love these types of posts. From the outset they seem mundane, but they are discussion provoking and I’m able to learn of new things at the same time.
My list (Firefox) 🙃
- Absolute Enable Right Click & Copy
- Bitwarden
- Don’t Fuck With Paste
- I still don’t care about cookies
- SponsorBlock
- uBlock Origin
Some of you have a LOT of addons, jeez.
Edit: Updated to use the /still/ don’t care about cookies addon. Thanks @stepan@lemmy.fmhy.ml
Don’t Fuck With Paste
You don’t need an addon for this one. Search about:config for dom.event.clipboardevents.enabled and double click on the key (set it to false). It should take care of that for you.
Edit: Typo
Wasn’t I don’t care about cookies acquired by Avast or something? I don’t exactly remember why, but in response to something like that, community edition I still don’t care about cookies was created and I’m using it since then.
Good to know, I’ll check that out thanks!
Definitely installing the cookie one
- Ublock Origin: to block ads of course
- SponsorBlock: to skip youtube sponsor spots and begging for likes and dislikes and leave a comment and ring the notification bell. Or skip straight to high lights.
- FireFox Multiaccount Container: For separate containers to keep accounts isolated from each other
- old reddit reddit: will be looking for a teddit.net redirect now
- Reddit Enhancement Suite: when used with reddit was my best friend
Not much myself to be honest.
- uBlock Origin, to make the web a bearable experience
- Yomichan for learning Japanese
And that’s it. I don’t really need much more.

Firefox translations (local-only website translation)
Firefox translations is good, but i’d recommend linguist instead, its still on-device (if you switch to the local engine in its settings), but is more feature rich, and i’ve found it to provide higher quality translations.
Buster Captcha Solver
Theres also privacy pass for cloudfare’s captchas
Nitter Redirect
I’d use libredirect instead, achieves the same purpose but also works with a tonne of other services as well and not just twitter -> nitter redirects, but also reddit -> libreddit, youtube -> piped, etc.
Facebook Container & Multi-Account Container
The only usecase for containers are multiple accounts, not privacy/security, fission’s sandboxing already takes care of that on firefox.
You have a huge number of addons though, i’d try to limit the number of installed addons unless it provides a purpose which is absolutely essential, can’t most of these addons be replaced with userscripts in violentmonkey? At least that way it’s more confined, in that it has privileges over a specific website rather than the entire browser. Know that every addon is a risk, even if the addon itself isn’t malicious, it could have a security vulnerability to be exploited.

You helped me find 4 new extensions…thanks!
Thanks for the Better History one. Firefox has such a garbage history function.

- NoScript (off 99% of the time since it’s not really needed)
- RES (until reddit does some stupid shit and bans it or something so I can finally quit it entirely)

That’s basically it. But after reading a few comments I added:
- Consent-o-matic

Holy shit. I admire the organisation and love the documentation, but holy addon, batman! thats a lot!

This is incredible, I have to try it. As a cloud to butt user I want to get a combo somewhere
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 :)
