I would love to find extensions that make me think “How did I live without this?”

Isn’t there a filter set for this in uBlock already? Annoyances filter?

I believe it unlock just hides them and not very well.

This will actively opt out of everything for you.

Doesn’t the third party cookie blocking already do this?

And fun fact, it’s developed by Danish researchers:

This add-on is built and maintained by workers at Aarhus University in Denmark. We are privacy researchers that got tired of seeing how companies violate the EU’s General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR). Because the organisations that enforce the GDPR do not have enough resources, we built this add-on to help them out.

This is awesome, thanks. Now that I have it installed I’d like to try it. Know any websites to test it out?

Enable the plugin while using private mode and see how it handles Google, YouTube and a random news site.

I’ve had much better luck with I still don’t care about cookies. Maybe I was doing something wrong but C-O-M didn’t seem to do much for me.

Also DeArrow to replace the obnoxious thumbnails.

I kind of like seeing the annoying thumbnails cause I find it correlates pretty good to the content I want to avoid

Also a great addon, though I use FreeTube, which has it built in.

That is a good one. I would also recommend Midnight Lizard, which has more customization options, but uses more resources / is slower.

Since it hasn’t been mentioned - containers.

https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/multi-account-containers/

Essentially lets you keep have browser tabs with entirely separate cookies from each other (like if you opened it in a different browser). Helps me keep work and personal accounts apart, and also sandbox eviltm webpages I’m forced to visit (by giving them their own container).

I almost forget it isn’t included in firefox by default.

It almost is; the scaffolding is there but the addon is needed to turn the feature on.

Yeah, it’s a very nice way to avoid bloat in the base browser tbh!

I just use different browsers. For example I use waterfox for all my ordinary browsing stuff. Social media, email work.

And I use Firefox when I want to watch 8 cam girls at the same time while searching for weird Japanese vomit porn.
