I absolutely adore SponsorBlock, works on a surprisingly large amount of youtube videos and generally doesn't block people promoting their own patreons so I don't have to feel bad about using it since I basically assume any youtube sponsor has a shit product at this point, ie. raid shadow legends or raycon headphones. https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/sponsorblock-for-youtube/mnjggcdmjocbbbhaepdhchncahnbgone?hl=en https://addons.mozilla.org/en-GB/firefox/addon/sponsorblock/ looking into it, it actually allows you to customize what parts of the video are skipped, including intros, outros, credits, interaction reminders (subscribe) and self promotion ie. patreon, it's a really good little addon.

[uMatrix](https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/umatrix/) written by the same guy as uBlock Origin. Gives control over cookies, scripts, and everything that is loaded across a website or all the internet.

i already used ublock/privacybadger/https everywhere. these other ones are great additions. chrome is already a ram hog, wonder how much these will impact

my recommendations: - [De-Mainstream](https://www.demainstream.com/): Removes videos by mainstream media channels from YouTube recommendations - [Privacy Possum](https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/privacy-possum/): Blocks common tracking methods - [Web Archives](https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/view-page-archive/): Adds a button to the context menu to open the current webpage on an archive. - [History Cleaner](https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/history-cleaner/): automatically deletes entries in your browsing history that are older than a set amount of days

For any other Vim addicts out there, Saka keys seems to be the most feature-complete and stable Vim-key interface to Firefox right now (a decent replacement to VimFx, if you ever used that). The feature I use most is link hints, I press the hotkey and every link on the page has a short unique code like "CU" or "FK", and I can press that code to open that link (in a new tab if I used the hotkey that does that). It's also nice to use j and k for scrolling, J and K to move between tabs, d to "delete" (close) the current tab, etc. I rarely have to use my mouse when in Firefox, with this. On the opposite end, there's Gesturefy, to do a ton of browser actions with mouse gestures, clicking and dragging your mouse in different shapes. Tree Style Tab is so basic to my Firefox usage I almost forgot that it's an extension. Vertical, collapsible, tree of your tabs that helps so much with keeping your tabs organized and easy to find, once you have more than 20 of them.
