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

[-] Waluigis_Talking_Buttplug@lemmy.world 38 points 10 months ago

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

[-] Tibert@jlai.lu 26 points 10 months ago* (last edited 10 months ago)

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.

Web archives Bypass Paywalls Clean ClearURL View Page Source (I'm seriously surprised it's not a basic feature.)

[-] baatliwala@lemmy.world 15 points 10 months ago

Redirect AMP to HTML if you hate amp like me

[-] foobaz@lemmy.world 12 points 10 months ago* (last edited 10 months ago)

NoScript

uBlock Origin

Dark Reader

[-] lone_faerie@lemmy.blahaj.zone 9 points 10 months ago

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.

[-] lemmyvore@feddit.nl 8 points 10 months ago

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.

Now do iOS. (Yes I know Apple has to release their stranglehold on the browser first.)

[-] miridius@lemmy.world 38 points 10 months ago

Yeah that's never gonna happen, unless the EU forces them by law.

One of the many reasons I'm so so happy to be back with an Android phone after having to use an iPhone for work for a few years

[-] onlinepersona@programming.dev 14 points 10 months ago

The Eu has forced them: Digital Markets Act --> alternative app stores.

iirc apple doesn't allow apps that are able to download and run extra code. I know this was the reason the game mindustry didn't have mod support on iOS. I could be wrong tho

[-] zzz@feddit.de 10 points 10 months ago* (last edited 10 months ago)

https://apps.apple.com/en/app/orion-browser-by-kagi/id1484498200?l=en-GB

WebKit browser, on iOS, with (most) Firefox and Chrome extensions possible.

Y’all are welcome :D (also @AllYourSmurf)

a long-overdue and very welcome addition to mobile.

[-] Substance_P@lemmy.world 27 points 10 months ago

Writing from a privacy perspective remember, browser add-ons can potentially make it easier to fingerprint or recognize an individual. But still, I can't help but love this new FF feature.

[-] ILikeBoobies@lemmy.ca 13 points 10 months ago
[-] meter_kilo@lemm.ee 13 points 10 months ago

This is not available on Android yet right ?

That's possible for quite some years, good that you've found it though.

I guess time to switch to Android!

[-] yamanii@lemmy.world 14 points 10 months ago

Hail to the king, baby

[-] kellyaster@kbin.social 13 points 10 months ago

Bah, no sign of "Save webP as PNG or JPEG" yet.

[-] force@lemmy.world 6 points 10 months ago* (last edited 10 months ago)

what's wrong with webp? it's a significantly more efficient file format (like 20% less file size for the same quality) and is supported everywhere by now. if anything, the default should be webp for image types that can be both lossy and losslessly compressed

[-] Gormadt@lemmy.blahaj.zone 18 points 10 months ago

Surprisingly not everywhere yet, some messaging apps don't support webp yet

Didn't they already support all addons a few years ago, and then limited it to the hand-picked ones?

[-] Desistance@lemmy.world 6 points 10 months ago

Yes. It was restricted since they moved to web extensions. They removed the restrictions on this release.

[-] INeedMana@lemmy.world 8 points 10 months ago

over 450 add-ons

But no Cookie AutoDelete among them. Firefox Nightly is still better

[-] Tibert@jlai.lu 8 points 10 months ago

It is, but only if you go on the main website, and not the android sub category https://addons.mozilla.org/fr/firefox/addon/cookie-autodelete/
