Lemmy helping Lemmy World browse the web (lemmy.world)

I thought it would be helpful for all the good people of Lemmy World if we shared our browser setups.

I'm mostly a laptop user when it comes to the Internet. I've been using Firefox with the Ublock Origin addon and it makes browsing the web so much less ad filled.

For youtube specifically I've had the best results with Chrome and an extension called Clear Skies for ad skipping.

Share you own browser setup. What do you use to surf the wild waves of the web to avoid the sharks and the sharp rocks?

Kiwi browser (Brave & Firefox on desktop) with: uBlock Origin, Sponsorblock, DeArrow (fights YouTube clickbait thumbs & titles, same dev team as Sponsorblock), Violentmonkey with a few scripts: Google Shut Up, Search cookie auto reject

Waterfox on my laptop, using Rehike for YouTube, uBlock origin, and DuckDuckGo privacy essentials not because it does much more than uBlock, but because of the built in unlimited email aliases. Incredibly useful feature.

On mobile I use stock brave since waterfox for iOS isn't out yet, and it collects no directly identifiable information unlike Firefox which for some reason does.

Edge. I simply disable what I don’t use.

And if a site has ads that I can’t ignore, I just close that browser tab.
