    Ublock Origin and Vimium C. That’s it.

    I used Dark Reader until last week, when I discovered a native Firefox setting that does the job better: Settings > Language and appearance > Colors > Manage > set background to Black and override to Always.

    No more white flashes, EVER (yes, I tried absolutely everything but on some sites there was nothing to be done, even with every possible CSS hack). And no more add-on speed penalty (to be fair it was small, and Dark Reader is still an amazing tool).

    Now the web looks pretty ugly but it is fast and always dark. White flashes banished FOREVER.

        I started there. But then it migrated to pentadactyl, which i had trouble installing. Tridactyl was an improvement, and honestly would work great for me… But id already switched…

    Ublock [1] and Noscript [2] are must have. you could also checkout Privacy Badger [3].

    If you use arkenfox user.js [4] you could also use I still don’t care about cookies [5]

        Would you please let me know how do i get the same “all scripts are blocked” and allowlist specific domains only like in noscript? As far as i know ublock enable/disable javascript for whole website not subdomains. I could be wrong. And noscript have xss protection.

          I have used noscript for a long time but after trying umatrix (from the ublock origin developer) I doubt I’m going back since this one feels more powerful. Maybe you want to give that one a try 🙂. I use it alongside ublock.

    I absolutely love Tree Style Tabs. I usually have a ton of tabs open (middle mouse click is my best friend) and that helps me keep it all organized, and quickly close all the ones I don’t need anymore. I also did a change in the profile settings for Firefox to get rid of the normal tabs so now I only have the tree ones. (I don’t really remember how I did that though, it was ages ago and involved editing some files in appdata)

      It involves editing the user chrome CSS or whatever it’s called.

      In addition to Tree Style Tabs, I use Tree Style Tab Mouse Wheel which eases navigation and Simple Tab Groups which also helps with organising the browsing sessions.

    Tree style tabs, which gives vertical tabs that you can arrange in a hierarchy to keep related ones together

    Simple tab groups, which lets you have multiple sets of open tabs you can switch between (can you tell I have a problem with too many tabs?)

    Unstick!, which when clicked removes any sticky elements, i.e. parts of the page that stay on your screen while you scroll. It’s great for removing all the bars and obstructions to reading that pages like to put in your way. For some reason I have to click it twice for it to work

    Read aloud, a good text to speech extension to read pages or parts of pages to you. It can be used with cloud based neural voices from Google and Amazon with some setup

    Consent-o-matic, which gets rid of the cookie consent popups for you and it’s configurable as to which types of cookies it will refuse or consent to for you

    SponsorBlock for YouTube, which can auto skip sponsor reads and various other kinds of segments you select to be skipped

    A few short months ago I would have said RES but, well 🤷‍♀️

      I love Simple tab groups, great way to save tabs for later.

      I’m also definitely going to give Consent-o-matic a try

    • uBlock Origin: Blocks ads, annoying popups and cookie banners.
    • Bitwarden: For password management and logins.
    • SponsorBlock: Skips sponsors and self-promotions on YouTube. A huge time-saver.

    I see some of these have already been mentioned, but they do deserve repeating;

    • µBlock Origin - blocks ads, and does it well.
    • Privacy Badger - blocks trackers, rewrites some tracking URLs, etc.
    • Multi-Account Containers - for those places where you want to keep tabs separate, giving each container its own cookies/session/etc.
    • Consent-O-Matic - automatically handles a lot of pages that shove annoying (and often technically GDPR-illegal due to lacking a quick “reject all” button) consent forms in your face.
    • Imagus - shows linked images on hover, including support for galleries and scrolling through all the images contained.

    Vimium-C.

    Well, it goes right after UBlock Origin, which was mentioned many times already.

        Nope, when I was choosing an extension I guess many people told me that tridactyl is a bit buggy and not polished enough.

        That was many years ago, I’m not sure what is the situation now.

        I have that list enabled, the pop-ups still hang around. I don’t care about cookies tends to catch them. I don’t know why there’s a difference.
