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.

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.

    • He has planned to file a lawsuit in small claims court so it'll only be a $1000 lesson assuming he wins. That's likely a fraction of what Samsung spends on toilet paper on a daily basis.
    • Windows Server gets DNS over HTTPS (DoH) support by Usama Jawad For the past few months, Microsoft has been previewing DNS over HTTPS (DoH) for Windows DNS Server, touting it as a foundational upgrade for zero-trust enterprise networks. It essentially introduces encrypted, authenticated DNS for the networks rather than transmitting DNS traffic in clear. Now, the company has introduced the general availability (GA) of this feature. The GA of DoH encourages organizations to deploy the solution in production environments without implementing a new client-to-resolver architecture. DoH helps improve the overall security of the network and reduces the risk of spoofing due to its zero-trust design. This is a significant change because pretty much every interaction with the network requires interfacing with DNS. DoH offers several advantages over standard DNS traffic, such as encryption using HTTPS, preventing unauthorized inspection, man-in-the-middle attacks, and traffic analysis. Since it leverages TLS certificates so that clients can verify the identity of the DNS server, it prevents spoofing through this authentication mechanism. Additionally, it's built on the DoH standard defined by the Internet Engineering Task Force (IETF), which means that it should work with modern RFC 8484-compliant clients. Finally, it integrates into the existing network architecture seamlessly and can even run in parallel with standard DNS, so that customers can migrate to the new technology at their own pace. Microsoft says that in the past few months of preview, DoH has become more stable, and customers can confidently deploy it in production environments with proper guidance. Microsoft has emphasized that migrating to DoH is necessary for organizations that are moving toward zero-trust DNS solutions. Windows clients already support DoH, but the latest availability on Windows Server provides encrypted DNS to all endpoints. The company has also mentioned that "while this release focuses on encrypting client-to-resolver communication, support for encrypted communication between Windows DNS Server and upstream DNS resolvers is planned for a future update." You can follow Microsoft's guidance to deploy DoH here, but keep in mind that you need a Windows Server 2025 installation with the latest Patch Tuesday updates installed.
