A place to discuss the news and latest developments on the open-source browser Firefox
I've been using IPvFoo on all my PCs since I wrote it for Chrome 12 years ago. Recently I made it fully Firefox compatible. It's useful if you have IPv6 and want to see which websites are on board, though it's a bit depressing if your ISP only offers IPv4.
I've found it particularly interesting on Lemmy, because it connects to such a wide variety of independent servers:
Clickbait Remover for Youtube makes that site a lot more pleasant. It'll replace all thumbnails with a screenshot from early in the video, and un-capitalize all titles to make them consistent.
Nice Suggestion.
DeArrow is a similar extension from the creator of SponsorBlock.
He has highlighted the differences between the two in the description:
Unlike Clickbait Remover, DeArrow's main purpose is for crowdsourcing better titles and thumbnails
When a crowdsourced title is not available, DeArrow will auto-format it according to your setting, but does it in a more sophisticated way than Clickbait Remover. Instead of only setting all words to lower case, or capitalizing every word, DeArrow supports casing systems such as "Title Case" and "Sentence case". These will still allow acronyms and proper names to remain capitalized.
When a crowdsourced thumbnail is not available, DeArrow by default shows a screenshot at a random timestamp in the video. Clickbait Remover's thumbnails use YouTube auto-generated thumbnails, and while they are seemingly random, they are chosen by a machine learning algorithm to favor faces with expressions, and other overstimulating features. DeArrow uses truly random timestamps generated by its own server. DeArrow will also check the SponsorBlock database to ensure the randomized thumbnail is not inside of a sponsor segment.

I'd love to use it, but it doesn't block all ads in my experience.
Lots of great extensions have been listed already, but here's one that I haven't seen mentioned yet and I really like: https://unhook.app/
Nice! UnHook removes YouTube recommended videos, related videos, comments, video suggestions wall, homepage recommendations, trending tab & comments
Tree Style Tabs is a must for me. It makes the tab/tab goup functionality in other browsers feel awful.
+1 for TreeStyleTabs!
Others have already mentioned some excellent vertical tab add-ons, so I'll post Tabs Aside, which is a super convenient way to save and load a window full of tabs. Saves having like 20 windows open with different stuff you don't want to lose.
Neat, I'll try this. I don't think the others save entire browser windows. So, maybe this has a different use.
Some of these are specialized tools, but to start, I make big, big use of dedicated containers, Google, Amazon, Reddit, Pixiv, Tumblr, and Discord. Sidebar note, uBlock Origin, NoScript, Bypass Paywalls Clean, Container Sidebar, Downloads Sidebar, Get RSS Feed URL, Pixiv Toolkit, FediShare, Tumblr - Post to Tumblr, Twitter Gif & Video Downloader, and Video Downloadhelper
Generell:
Für YouTube:
Die meisten dieser Addons brauche ich alleine damit ich nicht verrückt oder blind werde.
Firefox already has HTTPS Everywhere functionality built in these days
What's Karrinator?
There's nothing that explains it on its description page. Based on comments on its page (translated to English), my wild guess is: it's making people laugh while reading news somehow by changing names of politicians in the news articles.
Thanks for the other suggestions too.
Damn, I just noticed I accidentally wrote in german, I didn't even notice the post is in english lol. To Germans it would make sense, as it's exactly what you noticed; it just changes Annegret Kramp-Karrenbauers name to something funny, she's an ex-defense minister of Germany.
LOL.
Why specifically her though. Although, the idea is neat. Does it generate random funny names?
