Browser recommendations
Browsers
Pick whichever you prefer.
- Firefox
- Ungoogled/de-googled Chromium (like Google's Chrome)
- Safari (macOS/iOS/iPadOS only)
- Orion beta (currently macOS/iOS/iPadOS only)
- All of these are web browsers I have personally used before. There are of course many other browsers out there, many of which are completely fine to use.
Extensions
- uBlock Origin (advertisement and tracking blocker)
- Consent-O-Matic (auto-deny cookie banners)
- StopTheMadness / StopTheMadness Pro (macOS only)
- Bitwarden or the browser extension of another, different password manager you use
- YouTube-specific extensions, if you use the platform
(TODO for me: check platform & browser availability)- SponsorBlock for YouTube (Firefox link)
- Stop AutoPlay Next for YouTube (Firefox link)
- (optional) Privacy-heavy focus. Caution: Having these extensions may lead to some sites breaking – they are not necessary for most people.
- Privacy Badger
- CanvasBlocker (Firefox)
- Cookie AutoDelete (Firefox)
- AdNauseam advertisement & tracking blocker/obfuscator – if you use decide to use this, probably deactivate the others including uBlock Origin
- (optional) Dark Reader
