Firefox actually has their version of tempmail built in now.
it's not like a tempmail it's like proxy email to hide your actual email. So if you sign up for spam the spam will reach your actual email.

Yeah I'm saving this thread this is good shit gotta check some of these innanet tips
What’s the upside down Z-Library icon in the lower left for YT?
Idk it's not NewPipe or Grayjay
Invidous
Currently, it is recovering from attacks from Google. Only self-hosting works reliably at the moment..
What's ctrl-p do?
It opens a PDF version of any webpage. It may break some elements, but often gives access to text hidden behind paywall popups.
Ublock origin already has privacy badger and no cookies functionality. Worst case nothing gets blocked. Also slower internet for you.
Install Freetube (which has sponsorblock already), then get the FreeTube redirect addon
I’m not saying my setup is any better, but it currently looks like this:
- Firefox
- UBO
- SponsorBlock
- Return YouTube Dislikes
- DeArrow
- Archive.ph
I’m open to suggestions if anybody knows any better alternatives. I’ve had mixed luck with services that filter out YouTube’s crap.
Invidious is it effectively dead
Who knows if they can actually gnd a workaround this time. They themselves where unsure about it.
The public instances are useless at the moment.
The project isn't dead.
If you only care about a clean UI and no adds, just selt-host it. I'm doing it for a week now with no problems at all.
Google seems to have blocked all datacenter or cloud IPs from accessing YouTube.

When the alternative is dealing with the absolute horseshit quantity of ads that YouTube desperately wants to shovel down my throat, I'll take Invidious any day of the week.
It may not be in perfect condition but it's still good enough to use!
Ublock origin blocks YouTube ads though
Yeah, I haven't seen an ad on YouTube in years. I did prefer using Invidious or Piped, but they're basically dead right now.
Self-hosting Invidious works for me.

I've been using Ghostery for years now and I don't know whether or not it's still relevant.
It's not, use uBlock Origin.

I might start using Firefox once it has proper multi-account/profile features like Chrome.
I recently tried it but it's such a hassle to set up and switch between them.
I was able to get my profiles set up like chrome eventually. I'll have to remember what I did and post back
It's a little unintuitive, but it's there. I setup different browser instances to launch different profiles.
I did get multiple profiles, but it was still missing features that make it more accessible to work with like it does in Chrome.
It's almost there, it just lacks a bunch of definite features that would streamline it and integrate it better into the UI.

Drop IDCAC and Privacy Badger, add consent-o-matic, sponsorblock and bypass paywall clean.
Check Arkenfox for Firefox config and extension recommendations.

Only use temp mails for unimportant, one-shot account, otherwise use an email relay.
Ok any tips on how to manage email addresses to minimize their exposure and spam?
Yeah, use an email relay service like Firefox Relay, SimpleLogin, the one from Proton if you have an account with them (that's SimpleLogin behind)…
You can create email aliases, that will relay the email to your main address. Create a new alias for each website so they can't use your email address to correlate your identity and you can close it anytime, you can even configure an alias to only allow a set amount of messages and auto-close afterward.

Addy.io gives you email aliases as not to expose your actual email address. Everything gets funnelled into a single inbox of your choosing still. And the great thing is that if you use a unique email alias for all services, you know instantly who leaked your email address if you start getting spam. :D
Don't give out your email to spammers. Most legitimate businesses might send quite a lot of mail, but it's very often easy to unsubscribe so do that.

It's insane how big a fight we have to put to JUST surf the damn Internet.
Why drop privacy badger? It's been working well for me.
Because it doesn't bring anything more than Firefox in strict mode and uBlock Origin.
FF blocks Facebook et al widgets in strict mode now? This is news to me, news indeed. Thanks for the tip
Not exactly.
uBlock Origin blocks the widgets (with the "EasyList – Social Widgets" blocklist, I don't remember if it's on by default). As would any other blocklist based blocked do like Privacy Badger, uBO is just better.
FF's strict mode has something called Total Cookie Protection that makes it so Facebook widget on site A cannot read the cookie dropped by the Fackebook widget on site B. It isolate 3rd party cookies for each website.
It also has built-in Facebook Container to isolate Facebook links.
