    Hey Everyone, what are your favourite extensions (either already using or that you are excited to be able to use) and also whats a great example of a website that is most noticeably improved for each that extension?

      On android I’m pretty basic:

      • uBlock Origin
      • JShelter
      • LibRedirect
      • Dark Reader

      On PC I’m using some more:

      • uGet integration
      • Video Download Manager (grabbing links for yt-dlp)
      • SideBerry
      • Bitwarden

      and probably some others I forgot right now. I also try to not use to many addons

      Dark reader, ublock origin, sponsorblock, and background video play fix. This mostly improves YouTube.

          The main issue I’ve experienced is the video will go to like 15fps. Toggling to another resolution and back clears it up tho.

      If you are self hosting front end alternatives like teddit or nitter, libredirect is a great tool. Now, even when I browse the internet on my tablet, the extension will redirect to my server instance instead

        Not gonna lie… I’m becoming old and dont really know what people on lemmy say when they talk about self hosting. It seems like it’s a much different thing that does stuff in not aware of. Lol

        Now wheres the grandkids i dont have to show me how to do this… like i had to show my grandparents how to use their VCR

        Lol

          Self hosting means having an application run on your own server. The easiest introduction is probably using raspberrypi to run something like Jellyfin
