I thought it would be helpful for all the good people of Lemmy World if we shared our browser setups.

I'm mostly a laptop user when it comes to the Internet. I've been using Firefox with the Ublock Origin addon and it makes browsing the web so much less ad filled.

For youtube specifically I've had the best results with Chrome and an extension called Clear Skies for ad skipping.

Share you own browser setup. What do you use to surf the wild waves of the web to avoid the sharks and the sharp rocks?

Librewolf/Firefox+Arkenfox

Addons:

  • Ublock origin
  • noscript (default to block everything, trusted still blocks "LAN, other, ping"
    • fingerprint defender (multiple addons)
  • add custom search engine
  • temporary container, multi account containers
  • dark background light text
  • undo close tab
  • simple tab groups
  • offline qr code generator
  • libredirect (updated version of privacy redirect)

Android: Mull with my custom Addon collection and mostly the same addons, Firefox Translate installed manually

Use Profiles for different setups, not different browsers. firefox -p. I have one seperated for Captive portals (doesnt enforce HTTPS) and Netflix (DRM, unhardened because Netflix sucks)
