Disconnect is a good one as well as ublock origin 

 

This i recommend to everyone, the rest are extensions that are more specific to your use.

 

I have a bunch but I only use them when needed - so they are hard to generally recommend.

Ublock and a password manager extension.

Check out disconnect too they work well together to block all ads and tracking.

Nobody here uses NoScript?

breaks things more than it helps on most websites IMO

 

I use the following on my browser

  • uBlock Origin (Neowin whitelisted of course)
  • HTTPS Everywhere (when not using Brave as it's built in on Brave)
  • FireShot
  • Session Buddy
  • Improve YouTube - used to stop auto play and a few other useful tweaks - https://github.com/code4charity/YouTube-Extension
  • FrankerFaceZ - in which I also have the 7TV and BTTV emote plugins

Do people use uBlock Origin instead of AdGuard?

I thought the latter was supposed to be pretty good.

I've used both and currently use AdGuard.  Not sure if one is better than the other, but for some reason settled on AdGuard recently.

 

I also use a "Remove Cookie Banners" extension so that I don't need to press "accept" on every webpage.

Yes. Absolutely. I only use Ublock Origin for years and I see no reason to switch.

 

Try it. It is likely the best extension you ever used.

I did.
But then switched to AdGuard 😛 
Maybe time for a switch back and see.
I'll highly likely not notice the difference.

    • low latency mode is still bugged and causing bootup times slow to a crawl. To fix, you have to disable the feature with vivetool. Seems as though it's not rolled out to a lot of people yet since I've only been able to find only a handful of people that are having issues.
    • I would recommend the Nothing 2a. The battery life is awesome, 2 or 3 days without going into battery power mode. The only thing that I've been looking into recently is that it doesn't "support" Graphene OS. I'm pretty sure there is a way, I just need to do some more looking.
    • You'd have to show me an example of a listing that says Gen 1, usually i'd expect that to mean Snapdragon Gen 1 (a type of chipset, which the Pixels don't use). Pixel 7 - White - 128gb - Unlocked - 85%+ battery - Grade B+ - $159 with free delivery - https://www.ebay.com/itm/398046617206 Pixel 7 - Obsidian - 128gb - Unlocked - 80%+ battery - Very Good - $157 with free delivery - https://www.ebay.com/itm/355617734563 Both look to be sold by companies with good feedback, dealing with refurbished phones and state the phones are unlocked with a clean IMEI. Obviously I can't vouch for either company though, but the listings look good in my opinion.
    • Because Chrome is doing it. And no one said anyone had to update immediately. That's silly. They could update every day for all I care as long as it's fast, and the next time the browser restarts, you're good. And the basic point is not to tee it up for bigger updates. As it is right now, all the windows I had open reopen anyway except inprivate.
    • Why? Does anybody actually want this? The constant need to close all browser sessions and wait for a new version to install, just so that there’s a integrated coupon manager feels like a waste of everyone’s time
