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.

    • No, it was THAT ugly and I’d rather forget it completely existed.
    • There is a lot of reasons not to use Edge but faster fixes and security updates is not one of them.
    • Can't reproduce. I installed Edge, went to neowin.net > accepted the cookie consent > used menu to go to forums, everything loads and I can browse around the forums. If you can't interact with the dialog on the forums for some reason, go to the main site and accept the cookie consent there? It is true that the site will not function properly until the cookie consent is accepted or rejected,. it's a legal requirement and I also know that certain VPN/ad blockers block it, which is a user related issue and not a neowin.net problem.   This is not our cookie consent dialog. Gotta love browser hijacking... /s Edit: this may be what Californians see, I will confirm with our consent provider.
    • Google Chrome 149.0.7827.115 (offline installer) by Razvan Serea The web browser is arguably the most important piece of software on your computer. You spend much of your time online inside a browser: when you search, chat, email, shop, bank, read the news, and watch videos online, you often do all this using a browser. Google Chrome is a browser that combines a minimal design with sophisticated technology to make the web faster, safer, and easier. Use one box for everything--type in the address bar and get suggestions for both search and Web pages. Thumbnails of your top sites let you access your favorite pages instantly with lightning speed from any new tab. Desktop shortcuts allow you to launch your favorite Web apps straight from your desktop. Chrome has many useful features built in, including automatic full-page translation and access to thousands of apps, extensions, and themes from the Chrome Web Store. Google Chrome is one of the best solutions for Internet browsing giving you high level of security, speed and great features. Important to know! The offline installer links do not include the automatic update feature.

    • Oh, it's happening on more than one dialog? This is the dialog that I'm unable to interact with.
