Advice Request What Browser Extensions are you using in 2020?

[blacksheep]

Just trying to update my own list and see, if there something new worth installing. Let's go.

1. uBlock Origin
2. PrivacyBadger
3. BitWarden
4. I don't care about cookies
5. Firefox containers

f you check the extension page that's what the extension maker says. He never said anything otherwise. It's quite plain and simple. Now if anyone who thinks it's a complete replacement of some CDNs then that's awfully foolish

Thanks for confirming and for posting the info from the developers website. I was triggered by the reactions of members promoting this extensions. I have to defend those members looking at he benefits promise without going into to the technical details: the core functionality this extension actually delivers is ridiculously disproportionate to the benefits it promises, so I would rather say these members are fooled (in stead of calling them fools).

2.- AdBlock

I guess you mean AdblockPlus? Not recommend

3.-WOT Web or Trust (Webside Reputations)

WoT is privacy madness. Not recommend

Adblock normal version, not plus and wot I didn't know I had privacy issues

It was a long time ago, but this is what I could dig up on WOT:

'Web Of Trust' Browser Extension Cannot Be Trusted

The popular browser extension is selling very detailed information about you to third parties.

I would suggest to try uBlock Origin or AdGuard as replacement for Adblock.

GitHub - gorhill/uBlock: uBlock Origin - An efficient blocker for Chromium and Firefox. Fast and lean.

GitHub - AdguardTeam/AdguardBrowserExtension: AdGuard browser extension

AdGuard browser extension. Contribute to AdguardTeam/AdguardBrowserExtension development by creating an account on GitHub.

Both are highly recommended here.

Only Lastpass on my primary laptop. Adguard Desktop client works across browsers.

 

[Step 1]

Chrome:

• Decentraleyes
• Privacy Possum
• Grammarly
• HTTPS Everywhere
• Google Translator
• ublock Origin
• BitWarden

 

[HudSonManiac]

I use Privacy Badger, Google Translator, Cookie Auto Delete, and a VPN to obfuscate my IP address, regarding last I always check IP address like suggested here and then double check once connected to the server.

Replaced Opera by Woolyss ungoogled chromium using uBlockOrigin only and on Edge only blank new tab with Adguard

 

[South Park]

Based on advice here, I replaced Tampermonkey with Violentmonkey on Firefox and have been happy with it. I replaced Adguard with Nano Blocker on legacy Edge because I found Adguard difficult to troubleshoot. That said, I liked some of its privacy features and may try it again when I get Edge Chromium.
