    That’s a looooot of extensions. And some of them are features that are already in Firefox, like undo close tab and scroll to top.

    Keep in mind having a ton of extensions can be a security issue. Not sure about the ones you have in particular, but some grammar and coupon ones can be sketch. AI extensions especially so.

      Big problem is also that legit extension can get sold and the new owners add functions that monetize certain features or exfiltrate data. In the worst case even steal passwords (translation addons for example have a permission to record keystrokes). I’m keeping everything to a bare minimum.

    HTTPS Everywhere isn’t really necessary anymore, you can set that up in your settings now

    ClearURLs can be replaced by a uBO filterlist
    https://raw.githubusercontent.com/DandelionSprout/adfilt/master/ClearURLs%20for%20uBo/clear_urls_uboified.txt

    To Google Translate & TWP - Translate Web Pages can be somewhat replaced by the builtin translation engine, whivh doesn’t support a lot of languages for now but it has the benefit of translating it all from your machine, which is better privacy-wise

    Bypass Paywalls Clean © can be done through a uBO filterlist

    Https everywhere is redundant now, ff has a built in function iirc, that’s why eff doesn’t update it anymore

    You should be able to disable webrtc in about:config by changing media.peerconnection.enabled to False

    Https only is deprecated and can be enabled directly in the browser

    HTTPS everywhere has been phased out since Firefox already has an HTTPS-only mode in the settings.

    Firefox also has the ability to reopen closed tabs even without having to enable browsing history so you don’t need the “Undo Close Tab” extension.

    Good to see a fellow extension addict like myself! 😅

    I think uBlock has a feature that’s similar ClearUrls that you can replace

    Every extension installed can view every page you go to and any information you enter, including passwords. You are potentially sharing a lot of private information with a lot of random developers/sketch people who hired developers.

    You really need to consider the people behind the extensions and whether you trust them to not run off with all your bitcoins and blackmail you for the content of your saucy emails, and furry porn addiction.

    • Violentmonkey: do you even have more userscripts?
    • Best Google Translate one is “Translate webpages” its on Github
    • stylus only if you use it
    • unclutter not needed. Maybe “activate read mode” which forces the built in
    • slickdeals: get rid of that IMMEDIATELY, the same for honey. Spyware.
    • languagetool: only if you really need it
    • reviewmeta.com also spyware. Use their website as this addon reads every page you visit
    • fakespot maybe, check if the permissions are only for those sites
    • disable webrtc: just use about:config but why? If you want privacy, get Librewolf and use a VPN and none of the services these addons here advertise
    • darkreader: maybe use “dark background light text” as lighter alternative
    • devianart bla, no idea, check permissions

    In general, if you really need these things, maybe, but its a shitload. Never use addons from shady online services, they will scan every site you visit and “check for reviews” i.e. track you. Its not possible differently.

    Waybackmachine is like that out of the box, you need to enable private mode.

      Because it’s useful to be able to toggle WebRTC on and off quickly.

        For what? You need to opt in manually for websites to make the connection. Before allowing that, no connections will be made

    I think certain things such as Deviantart Anti Janky, ReviewMeta, Old Reddit Redirect, Old Twitter Layout, Terms of Service; Didn’t Read can be managed via userscripts (Violent Monkey).

    About the usage of Honey and SlickDeals. I think it defeats the purpose of some of the privacy extensions you are using.

    For “To Google Translate”, I recommend using Linguist instead: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/linguist-translator/

      Thanks for the linguist recommendation! I had been using whatever the google translate wrapper extension and I had no idea there was something better

    If your keyboard has home/end buttons (right side, towards the top for me) and scroll to top does what it sounds like, you can probably ditch that one.

    Pressing home automatically sends you to the top of the page, pressing end sends you to the bottom.

    I personally got rid of Honey because I got word of it being a data harvester, which makes sense to me since it spammed advertising to YouTube sponsorships despite being a “free” thing… so I honestly didn’t bother looking to far into that I just chucked it and moved on. It wasn’t important enough for me to bother checking how they got the money to advertise through content creators.

    I do use Dark Reader, RES (rip Reddit though. RES gets far less use now but I’m still keeping it), Sponsorblock, Return YouTube Dislike, and uBlock Origin from that list. So obviously I (currently) agree with them.
