I generally use the following:

  • uBlock Origin
  • SponsorBlock
  • Honey
  • Wayback Machine
  • Netflix Watch List Manager
  • Shadertoy plugin
  • RES…

What does Lemmy use?

    Cookie AutoDelete

    i wouldn’t use this, it doesn’t do anything

    Disconnect for Facebook

    also wouldn’t use this, use ublock origin, it already blocks facebook trackers

    Decentraleyes

    localcdn is better, its maintained and it supports far more frameworks

    Undo Close Tab Button

    built into firefox, right click on tab bar, open closed tab, so this is unecessary

    Privacy Badger

    redundant with ublock origin

    ClearURLs

    redundant with ublock origin, this ublock blocklist does the same thing

    Know that every addon is a risk, even if the addon itself isn’t malicious, it could have a security vulnerability to be exploited. So i’d only get an addon if its absolutely essential, if it can be avoided, avoid it.

      I was hoping to receive a comment like this, since I rarely remove an addon once I installed it cause I keep thinking there must have been some reason why I did long ago.
      Oh and I have a Pihole on top of all those blockers…

      But I am confused about Cookie Autodelete. I know if I don’t whitelist a website then as soon as I close the tab I am no longer logged in if I go back, so it must be deleting cookies right?

        so it must be deleting cookies right?

        it is, but firefox already partitions cookies which is why it’s not necessary, if anything you’d be harming privacy by using cookie auto delete since it doesn’t work when protection is set to “strict” in firefox settings, meaning you would have to lower the protection setting.

      uBlock does so much more than one would think. Where’s a good list of all the additional capabilities / lists that go beyond just the ad-blocking?
