Useful Firefox extensions
These are some useful extensions that I use daily in my pretty heavily configured Firefox.
Appearance / Browser
Tree Style Tab
Allows you to work with tabs as trees.
If you want to remove tabs from the toolbar, you’ll need to add some CSS to your userChrome.css file:
#TabsToolbar {
visibility: collapse !important;
}
Adaptive Tab Bar Colour
It basically just changes the Firefox theme to match the current website.
As you can see, it works well with Tree Style Tab.
Dark Reader
This one is well-known. I use it at night when the website does not switch to a dark theme.
Miscellaneous
Price Perspective
Helps you put prices in perspective by comparing it to other people’s income or your own.
Terms of Service; Didn’t Read
Gives a grade and details over how bad the TOS of the current website are.
uBlock
uBlock blocks a variety of stuff: ads, trackers, coin miners, popups, etc.
Vimium
I only use one feature from this one: the goto word command. Allows you to click on stuff without touching your mouse.
Website-Specific Improvements
GitHub
Both these extensions add useful features on top of GitHub.
Enhanced GitHub
Display repo size, size of each file, download link and option to copy file contents
Refined GitHub
This one has too many for me to list, see the GitHub page.
YouTube
Clickbait Remover
This extension replaces thumbnails with a frame from the video, effectively removing any clickbait while still showing a high quality thumbnail, so you can still get a good idea of what the video is about. It can also modify titles to stop partial or all caps titles.
Sponsor Block
SponsorBlock lets you skip over sponsors, intros, outros, subscription reminders, and other annoying parts of YouTube videos. SponsorBlock is a crowdsourced browser extension that lets anyone submit the start and end times of sponsored segments and other segments of YouTube videos. Once one person submits this information, everyone else with this extension will skip over the sponsored segment.
Conclusion
That’s it for the extensions I currently use. :)
