What does Lemmy use?
Looking at the comments, interest in privacy and adblocking seem high. But the actual addons suggested here are often redundant or even worse, make you easier to track. Instead, take a look at the Arkenfox wiki, which is more or less the gold standard for browser privacy. Both LibreWolf and Mullvad Browser, practically the most privacy/anonymity oriented browsers out there, right behind Tor, either rely on it or stick very closely to it.
I highly recommend reading the entire wiki from the start. You dont have to do everything it says, obviously, but even if you dont do anything it will give you a better understanding of browser privacy. And lastly, do not use Chrome or any chromium based browser if you care about privacy and a free and open internet. Even if you only use a chromium based browser, you help increase googles monopoly.uBlock Origin
Decentraleyes
Consent-o-matic
These are essential to me. Consent o matic automatically fills out cookie pop-ups by opting out of everything for you. Some of these cookie things take a while to process which shows how devious they are set up
- Adguard (Adblocker)
- ProWritingAid (Grammar Checker)
- Volume Master (Boosts tab audio)
- Chrome Remote Desktop (Obvious)
- Honey & Rakuten (Coupons and Cashback)
I also use a Chromebook, so I use these “native” extensions I developed.
- CrosKeys (Launcher, Clipboard Manager, Scripting, basically a Rofi replacement)
- CrosPaper (Wallpaper/Screensaver Manager)
- CrosManager (System Manager)
On Firefox:
- uBlock Origin
- Bitwarden
- Decentraleyes
- Terms of Service; Didn’t Read
- Firefox Multi-Account Containers
- Facebook Container
- Consent-O-Matic
- Don’t Track Me Google
…and the add-ons not related to privacy:
- 10ten Japanese Reader (Rikaichamp)
- Zhongwen
- New Xkit
- Earth View from Google Earth
- Palette Creator
- Save to Notion
- Send to Outline
- Web to EPUB
I use most of these on Brave Browser, too.
- AdNauseam (for cases when other extensions miss something)
- Bypass Paywalls
- Decentraleyes
- Don’t touch my tabs! (rel=noopener)
- Don’t track me Google
- Forget Me Not
- HTTPS Everywhere
- Old Reddit Redirect
- Redirector (to use the Vector theme on MediaWiki instances)
- uBlock Origin
- uMatrix
- User-Agent Switcher and Manager
More than I feel makes sense to post TBH. But a few important ones (for Firefox):
uBlock Origin
Sidebery to get my tabs in a vertical tree; if you often have more than 10-15 tabs I really recommend this!
Bitwarden (password manager)
Checker Plus for Gmail + Checker Plus for Google Calendar, easy-access email/calendar in a small window, I very rarely actually go to gmail.com
Return YouTube Dislike
Tampermonkey for userscripts on Kbin
Video Speed Controller, I use numpad +/- to increase/decrease speed by 0.25x, works basically everywhere including YouTubedeleted by creator
Firefox:
UBlock Origin
DuckDuckGo Privacy Essentials Plugin

Edit: I only use Brave to do my school homework because firefox messes with the website we use sometimes.

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?

Browser: Firefox, gonna name stuff i don’t see mentioned yet
‘Multi Account Containers’ + ‘Container Tabs Sidebar’ + ‘Switch Container’ + ‘Temporary Containers’ +
‘don’t care about cookies’‘Consent-o-matic’
basically allows you to easily have multiple accounts on websites while also making sure everything stays contained to its own bubble, and anything I don’t have a dedicated container for gets a temporary container that deletes the cookies after a bitin order for me to both not care about cookies and also not get any cookies.at this point mostly because I don’t like accidentally having an account on a non-contained instanceff2mpv - easily launch videos in mpv, requires a bit of setup
Image Search Options - finding the source of most drawings, spotting which anime a clip is from etc
Yomichan for quick access to locally installed dictionaries (for Japanese in this case)

redundant with umatrix, i’d just use umatrix
And umatrix was developed by Gorhill, who also develops ublock origin, and umatrix is no longer maintained because ublock origin is simply more useful.
deleted by creator
Its unmaintained and using it together with uBlock Origin can supposedly (not tested it myself) lead to uMatrix undermining uBlock Origin. Even Arkenfox recommends against using uMatrix.
