I really enjoy Firefox on Android as I can install a bunch of extensions and I find those extensions game changer, especially on the mobile.

One of my favorites are

  • Libredirect - literally one of my favorite ones. Redirects popular sites to privacy focused frontends, like YouTube to Invidious, etc.
  • uBlock Origin - I guess everyone knows this one
  • Privacy Badger - blocks trackers
  • Ghostery - blocks trackers, ads, scripts, etc.

What extensions do you guys use?

    Tab Snooze - allows you to close a tab and have it reappear at a chosen time later

    Media URL Timestamper - automatically inserts the current timestamp of the YouTube/Twitch video you’re watching and updates it in the history in case you accidentally close/navigate away from the page or go to a different time in the video

    Feedbro - RSS reader with filtering capabilities

    Redirector - auto-redirect specific URLs (for example, changing a YouTube Shorts url into a regular one, or changing Reddit links to always go to Old Reddit)

    Undo Close Tab Button - allows you to restore recently closed tabs including the tab’s history in the back button (max amount = browser.sessionstore.max_tabs_undo)

    Violentmonkey - using userscripts that allow you to change things on websites.

    YouTube Comment Reader - allows you to search through the comments of a video (by clicking on the addon in the Extension menu and then clicking on the “YouTube Comment Reader” at the top or the “X Comments” at the bottom of the tooltip)

    Page Shadow - allows you to use dark and light themes on sites that don’t have the option to change it.

    And if you’re like me and you find that some YT videos feel too slow but 1.25x is too fast, then you can use Enhancer for YouTube’s “Playback speed” feature to have smaller speed steps. Then you can hold ctrl and use the scrollwheel (while over the video) to change the video’s speed by the amount you chose (I use 0.05 speed variation, mostly changing to 1.05x or 1.10x)

        It adds a list of the most recently closed tabs to the tab context menu

          Fair enough. I thought this was already a feature too but I don’t see it. Very cool, thank you for sharing!
