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.

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

ClearURLs can be replaced by a uBO filterlist

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

Goood god 😮

I think you may have an unhealthy relationship with Extensions. 🙃

Remember that everytime you install an additional extension you are effectively expanding your circle of trust, giving some company or developer privileged access to your browsing. The only extensions vetted for security by Mozilla are the ones with an ‘Recommended’ badge next to the name. Each additional extension increases the risks to your privacy, your security, and just generally increases the potential for issues.

At least some of the extensions on your list are violating your privacy/exist to harvest your personal data, profile you, or sell you things.

That doesn’t mean that you shouldn’t use extensions at all. But it does mean you should be thoughtful about what you install. Should do your due diligence, look into extensions before you install them, and understand the developers motivations for giving you something for free which costs them time and sometimes money (There are legit reasons but also common malicious reasons). And it means you should be cautious and reluctant to install too many new extensions.

If I were in your shoes with this many extensions, I wouldn’t be asking which individual extensions to get rid of, I’d start with a fresh Firefox profile, configure it roughly like this, get rid of all the extensions except uBlock Origin and Bitwarden and maybe violent monkey if that is something you rely on. And then slowly reads extensions as needed, one at a time, spending time to research it a bit before installing and researching if there is a better way to accomplish it.

With no other extensions Firefox + uBO can be really powerful and flexible, you’ve just got to spend some time learning how to use them. There are a few others on your list that I use also, but I’d say start with the basics and build from there. Also if you feel you need the shopping and deals extensions at least consider putting them in their own profile that you use only for shopping.

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.

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

Damn

holy shit thats a lot

• 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.

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.

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

That’s a hell lot of extensions. What’s your memory and cpu usge ?

Also may I ask what’s with the hatred on webp? Just curious

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.

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/
