        Description says it plays then in the normal video screen. Don’t see the point, maybe someone can fill me in.

          Shorts are weird. They don’t respond to keyboard controls like K for play/pause, arrow keys to scrub and change volume, you can’t actually scrub at all. I’m pretty sure you can’t see what channel posted them or when? Play them in the regular window and voila, normals ass YouTube video. Just short.

            Youtube’s default player will now resize the viewport depending on the aspect ratio of the content, so I suspect it would do the same for vertical video

      Clean urls breaks a lot of things so I don’t use it anymore. You can delete trackers if need be by yourself (usually everything after “ref” or everything after “?”

      I would also like to add:

      Ublock Origin with Javascript enable by default in settings

      Container Tabs

      Tree Style tabs

      Bitwarden

      Simplelogin

      Privacy Badger

      Dark Background and Light Text

      Tampermonkey (use to redirect to old reddit to view without JS using ublock)

        firefox has a built in function to “copy link without site tracking” now.

        firefox also has total cookie protection which may (more may not) make Container Tabs kinda moot ?

    Some that haven’t been mentioned yet:

    • Behind The Overlay (removes simple login banners/paywalls/anything that blocks the content)
    • Don’t Fuck With Paste (for those sites that think it’s fun to override or even disable copy and/or paste)
    • Greasemonkey/Tampermonkey Violentmonkey

      Stop suggesting Greasemonkey and Tampermonkey. Tampermonkey is proprietary and steals user data, and Greasemonkey hasn’t been updated since 2021. Use Violentmonkey, it’s completely FOSS and up-to-date.

          No problem. Unfortunately Tampermonkey is recommended in many articles, guides, blog posts, etc. because people are unaware of what it does. Violentmonkey should be far more popular, so users stop downloading proprietary crap, simply because it’s the best known userscript extension.

        Hey I’m also using Violentmonkey and always recommend it over other options. But your comment got me wondering and I’ve checked. Turns out Greasemonkey actually dropped a new version a month ago. Not that this changes anything for me, just wanted to correct the statement.

      Which greasemonkey scripts do you use? I’ve never used it but have heard it’s a good one to have (also, it’s been recommended several times on here)

      • Dehydrated@lemmy.world

        If you want to use userscripts, definitely install Violentmonkey instead of Greasemonkey or Tampermonkey, as Tampermonkey is proprietary and steals user data and Greasemonkey hasn’t been updated in years

          Thank you - I love how it can look at the site and suggest scripts - and you can’t go wrong with Opensource. Thank you.

    As a college student, my must have plugins are

    • DarkReader
    • Firefox Multi-Account Containers
    • Sponsorblock
    • TWP - Translate Web Pages

    and the goat itself, >!uBlock Origin!<

    Some that I use:

    Dark Mode

    I don’t like having a light screen.

    • Dark Reader. This does a pretty technically-impressive-to-me job of making reasonable dark versions of pages. It’s not perfect – there are a handful of sites that it needs to be toggled off for, makes something hard to read – but I’m amazed that it does the job it does.
    • Blank Dark Tab: Replace the new tab with a blank page matching Firefox’s built-in dark mode

    Privacy/Anti-Tracking/Ad-blocking

    Paywalls

    Some paywalls can be bypassed.

    Tweaking Frameworks

    • Stylus: Doesn’t do anything on its own, but permits collections of third-party themes to be applied to websites to fix annoyances.
    • Greasemonkey. This doesn’t do anything on its own, but it permits people to publish little modifications to be applied to webpages, permits for a lot of little scripts that fix annoyances on websites. There were a number of useful scripts that I used on Reddit.

    Misc

    • Edit with Emacs. Permits opening the contents of a textarea in an external emacs instance. Nice for things like, say, writing a large lemmy post in Markdown. I vaguely recall that, at least some years back, there was a way to embed a version of vim in Firefox textareas, so if vim’s your cup of tea, that might be interesting, if it’s still around.
    • Instance Assistant for Lemmy and Kbin. A variety of quality-of-life fixes for lemmy and kbin. Lets one open a given lemmy/kbin post on their local instance if they wind up viewing a page on a remote instance.
    • Reddit Enhancement Suite. If you still use Reddit, this has an enormous collection of quality-of-life improvements for Reddit.

    EDIT: I don’t know if this is the embedded vim that I recall, but Firenvim seems to do roughly the same thing, if not.

    EDIT2: There’s also some “overlay remover” plugin that can bypass a number of obnoxious overlays that I use on my desktop, but I don’t have it installed on this machine. I think that it’s Behind the Overlay.

    Absolute essentials:

    • Ublock (ad blocker and tracker blocker). There’s some ssential filters for it as well, but that’s a separate story, I guess)
    • Consent-o-matic: (Autofills cookie prompts, by answering no to everything)
    • Multi Account Containers (separates login info, useful when you have several logins for a single site)
    • DarkReader (dark mode for webpages)
    • Bitwarden (password manager)
    • ClearURL (strips tracking elements from URLs)

    For Youtube in particular:

    • Sponsorblock
    • Return youtube dislike
    • Youtube nonstop
    • Any auto hd plugin (haven’t found a “best one” yet)

    For Reddit in particular

    • Reddit RES (lots of qol)
    • Old Reddit Redirect (good for when browsing Reddit when not logged in, e.g. in private mode)

    Any extension to re-enable right click. It’s annoying when they try to block me from downloading a picture/video, copy pasting, or inspecting elements

    recipefilter.

    Makes most recipes appear as a modal dialog covering the stupid blogspam that the sites put up.

    There’s another one that I can’t remember the name of on my desktop computer that allows you to block domains from web searches. Like pinterest.

    Edit: it’s uBlacklist

    There are only *two must have extensions in Firefox:

    1. uBlock Origin
    2. Your password manager’s browser extension

    Beyond that it’s all optional. Most things I used to use extensions to accomplish are now possible to accomplish using Firefox’s built in settings or using uBlock Origin.

    There are a few other extensions I use that I consider useful but optional:

    1. Dark Reader
    2. Facebook Container
    3. Libredirect

    Redirector

    Add custom URL redirects, e.g. automatically use Piped or Invideous instance instead of YouTube, use Nitter instead of Twitter, remove Google amp

    Edit: I just found out about Libredirect from this post - seems like functionally the same thing I’m using Redirector for, but with rules built in.

      Yeah same. I initially used it for YouTube/Twitter but realized that it’s reinventing the wheel that libredirect already created, and doesnt have the same features like pinging instances or being able to cycle through instances if one goes down.

      I still find redirector useful, but now use it for things like redirecting away from guilty pleasure websites or when my locally-hosted teddit doesn’t properly handle internal links.

        I had never thought about using Redirector to lock myself out of websites! That’s brilliant. I need to do that. Zero self control when I should be working.

      Suggestion: Use LibRedirect, it does the same thing as Nitter redirect, but it also supports redirection for many other sites. For example you can redirect YouTube to Piped or Invidious, Reddit to Libreddit, etc.

    Don’t have Firefox but the first plugin you must install on any browser or turn in your browsing license is uBlock Origin.

      Ironically, in the future, Firefox will be the only browser to properly support uBlock Origin. Chromium will kill adblockers through their MV3 garbage. Switch to Firefox, use the proper version of uBO and keep your browsing license.
