I’m looking for:
-One for link shortcuts (like Quick Links)
-One that helps with PDFs and maybe converts stuff into PDFs.
-A highlighter addon/extension
-Best “read-aloud” extension
-Some note-taking addon/extension
-Best video downloader
-Anything that helps with language learning.
-A sound recording thing.
-Anything that helps keep track of times and tasks.
-Dictionary or word-listing addon.
-Anything that helps with bookmarking and saving articles.
-And anything that helps with reading.
One last thing:
Can you toggle off the extensions/addons so that they won’t take up any RAM or memory? Like, shut them off and they won’t factor into the output of the computer or browser?
Thanks!
Also, which ones do you think are the most useful in terms of addons/extensions?
Self-hosting a VPN depends on your needs and abilities. If you self-host it on a cloud VPS, the provider will be able to collect the information and the VPN becomes essentially useless for privacy. It does, however, still protect from hackers and allows for bypassing some networks’ restrictions. Another option would be what I do, hosting the VPN at your house. Again, it doesn’t really anonymize you or help with privacy, but it is great for hackers and restrictions, and is usually much faster than a VPS because it’s closer. It also gives you full, physical control over the server.
If your goal is security and bypassing restrictions, self-hosting is a good option. If you want privacy, you’ll want to use something like Mullvad VPN and pay in cash or crypto.
My threat model is bypassing the blocks of ISPs in my country but not necessarily privacy from the VPN or VPS provider. What you say is useful for other threat models ofc.
