I really enjoy Firefox on Android as I can install a bunch of extensions and I find those extensions game changer, especially on the mobile.

One of my favorites are

  • Libredirect - literally one of my favorite ones. Redirects popular sites to privacy focused frontends, like YouTube to Invidious, etc.
  • uBlock Origin - I guess everyone knows this one
  • Privacy Badger - blocks trackers
  • Ghostery - blocks trackers, ads, scripts, etc.

What extensions do you guys use?

    For me, it’s many of the ones people have already said, plus:

    • StreetPass (seriously cool - collects the mastodon profile of any website you visit where someone has set up the special link to their profile)
    • Video Speed Controller (gives you fine-grained control over video speed, e.g. watching video at 2.6x speed)
    • Privacy redirect (automatically redirects to various services, e.g. from Twitter to Nitter - can select a random instance each time)

      Does privacy redirect automatically know if the instance is healthy? Or does it sometimes redirect you to a invidious or nitter or libreddit instance that’s broken?

      Because if this thing is health-aware, the. It would save me so much time.

        Unfortunately, I think it just picks randomly. I have had times where it has redirected me to an instance that is down. That said, if you have an instance you know is stable, it does give you a drop-down to always redirect to a specific one.
