Since currently Lemmy is mostly made up of nerds, I'd like to know what browsers you use and why? You could just upvote the comment with your browser of choice if you don't want to explain.

Recently switched from brave to Firefox+ublock mobile and PC.

Any list of suggested extensions?

[–] WhyJiffie@sh.itjust.works 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Libredirect if you are interested in private frontends to youtube, twitter and such

Violentmonkey if you want to automate websites

Singlefile

Firefox multi-account containers (yes this is an addon), and temporary containers

Thank you, I'll check them out

Bitwarden

Translate Web Pages

I don't use many extensions, but those two are useful.

I like Keepa to track prices on Amazon and set alerts for deals. It's nice since it embeds a chart directly within Amazon product pages. I haven't reviewed their privacy policy for a while though (last time was a few years ago) so I don't know how much data they collect and for what purpose.

I switched from LastPass last year... Should have done it much earlier. I switch before LastPass' data breach but unfortunately I didn't delete my LastPass account until after the data breach.

if you use YouTube, deArrow and sponsorBlock.

sidebery to have vertical tree style tabs. use the beta from the GitHub page, they rewrote everything from v4 and v5 and v5 is way better.
