What are the browser add-ons that you use? (lemm.ee)

For me I use the following:

Temporary containers - This add-on is so amazing and really helps when signing into multiple accounts

UBlock Origin - Add blocker, probably the best available

Dark Reader - Helps to make the web a little more readable and less harmful to the eyes

for privacy:

ublock origin (default settings)
noscript
privacy badger (by eff)
canvasblocker
localcdn
clearurls

additionally, i also use bitwarden for password managing, libredirect for automatically redirecting to alternative privacy front-ends, xbrowsersync for syncing bookmarks, and snowflake for tor censorship circumvention.

Just some advice, Privacy Badger, NoScript, ClearURLs, and LocalCDN are all redundant nowadays. uBlock does ClearURLs and NoScripts job, Total Cookie Protection does Privacy Badgers job and LocalCDNs job.

Also you might want to consider using RFP instead of CanvasBlocker, the more people using it the better it is for everyone.

i would use rfp but it causes images to look like a glitchy mess.

[–] eya@lemmy.dbzer0.com 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

CanvasBlocker should be doing the same exact thing. If some images aren't glitchy messes then CanvasBlocker isn't working. And you can always let websites use your canvas data if you need to.

canvasblocker's default settings let images appear but the hash is different upon page reload. so if i were to use rfp, is there any way i can have viewable images and privacy? also how does ublock replace clearurls and noscript?

uBlock has NoScript built in if you turn it on, and has removeparam functionality by turning on some extra lists.

As for the images thing, I'm not really sure. If a sites images break with RFP I just don't use that site.
