So, aside from the ad block everyone loves and I don't have the characters to type, what do we recommend?

[-] [email protected] 39 points 2 years ago

Sponsor block for youtube works great, grease monkey for scripts, too

Consent-O-Matic (has to be downloaded from the main website, and not the android sub category)

And what you wish to have other than that depends on your needs.

I myself have an extension to unlock Bing AI on Firefox android.

Google Search Fixer (for when I need a Google service)

TWP - Translate Web Pages

And more.

A bit niche, but I love Shinigami Eye. It highlights trans-friendly sites and profiles in green and transphobic ones in red.

Dark reader was already available before this.

I switched to Ff on all devices last week and I have no complaints. Other than email, I'm slowly migrating from all Google products.

Now do iOS. (Yes I know Apple has to release their stranglehold on the browser first.)

[-] [email protected] 38 points 2 years ago

Yeah that's never gonna happen, unless the EU forces them by law.

One of the many reasons I'm so so happy to be back with an Android phone after having to use an iPhone for work for a few years

[-] [email protected] 14 points 2 years ago

The Eu has forced them: Digital Markets Act --> alternative app stores.

iirc apple doesn't allow apps that are able to download and run extra code. I know this was the reason the game mindustry didn't have mod support on iOS. I could be wrong tho

WebKit browser, on iOS, with (most) Firefox and Chrome extensions possible.

Y’all are welcome :D (also @AllYourSmurf)

a long-overdue and very welcome addition to mobile.

Writing from a privacy perspective remember, browser add-ons can potentially make it easier to fingerprint or recognize an individual. But still, I can't help but love this new FF feature.

That's possible for quite some years, good that you've found it though.

I guess time to switch to Android!

[-] [email protected] 14 points 2 years ago

Bah, no sign of "Save webP as PNG or JPEG" yet.

[-] [email protected] 6 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago)

what's wrong with webp? it's a significantly more efficient file format (like 20% less file size for the same quality) and is supported everywhere by now. if anything, the default should be webp for image types that can be both lossy and losslessly compressed

[-] [email protected] 28 points 2 years ago

Lots of platforms, even image editing don't support webp

Surprisingly not everywhere yet, some messaging apps don't support webp yet

Hail to the king, baby

[-] [email protected] 11 points 2 years ago

Didn't they already support all addons a few years ago, and then limited it to the hand-picked ones?

[-] [email protected] 6 points 2 years ago

Yes. It was restricted since they moved to web extensions. They removed the restrictions on this release.

[-] [email protected] 8 points 2 years ago

over 450 add-ons

But no Cookie AutoDelete among them. Firefox Nightly is still better

[-] [email protected] 9 points 2 years ago

It is, but only if you go on the main website, and not the android sub category https://addons.mozilla.org/fr/firefox/addon/cookie-autodelete/
