So, aside from the ad block everyone loves and I don't have the characters to type, what do we recommend?

Sponsor block for youtube works great, grease monkey for scripts, too

Consent-O-Matic (has to be downloaded from the main website, and not the android sub category)

And what you wish to have other than that depends on your needs.

I myself have an extension to unlock Bing AI on Firefox android.

Google Search Fixer (for when I need a Google service)

TWP - Translate Web Pages

And more.

A bit niche, but I love Shinigami Eye. It highlights trans-friendly sites and profiles in green and transphobic ones in red.

I heard violentmonkey was an opensource alternative to that.

Dark reader was already available before this.

[-] ThunderWhiskers@lemmy.world 5 points 10 months ago

Dark reader is amazing but I have seen a noticeable impact on page load times from time to time.

[-] Contend6248@feddit.de 8 points 10 months ago

Not only load time, some sites have really bad performance with it, i just stop using the handful i've come across.

Not having dark mode implemented and having trash code is a good reason to stop being used.

CanvasBlocker.

Worldwide Radio

Are some absolute musts for me.

[-] _s10e@feddit.de 7 points 10 months ago

I heared people love worldwide-radio. What's so cool about it? And why as a browser plugin? This could be a stand-alone app or website.

[-] omnomed@lemmy.world 2 points 10 months ago

For me It's music discovery. Trying to find a particular net radio manually throughout the web that fills your criteria of music is obviously hard so this extension makes it easier to browse.

Other than that I use the browser for work and leisure so I end up browsing alot, since the browser is on most of the time I can turn on the radio and play faster from the extension instead of browsing to the dedicated website or swap to a different app for the same function. You can make the argument that a bookmark would work just as well but you can do it in the add-on too and make a library list of them that you can press the next button to change to a different one.

[-] CupOf@lemm.ee 1 points 10 months ago

Simple Gesture. Now i don't have to go through a ton of menus or aim tiny UI elements for a simple action. I use similar addon on desktop as well.
