Mostly interested in non-standard ones, e.g. https://github.com/DandelionSprout/adfilt. Not necessarily just about ad-blocking but a clean online experience like SponsorBlock. Interested in non-standard uBO lists as well.

I will try to compile a list of what was said here:

  • Automatic Captcha Solving: Buster. Great mention, use it myself!
  • Consent-O-Matic. Didn’t know about this one, will give it a look!
  • Additional Annoyances list for uBO
  • DNS blocking/ Pi hole
  • …

    Consent-O-Matic for automatically rejecting tracking cookies instead of just hiding the banners https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/consent-o-matic/

    LibRedirect for opening big companies’ links in privacy-respecting front-ends https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/libredirect/

    Buster for solving reCAPTCHA with a single click https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/buster-captcha-solver/

    Web Annoyances uBO list https://github.com/yourduskquibbles/webannoyances

    and NextDNS on all my devices.

      I’m very leary about installing any extensions that use the permission “Access your data for all websites”. I get that they need to see the website so they can do their thing, but I just don’t trust that they are any better having my data than the site I just visited.

      I’ve switched to Redirector from LibRedirect as I find it’s more customisable - for example, I can create rules that automatically go to a 12ft.io redirect version of a page if the site is behind a paywall and a rule to redirect Instagram profiles to picuki.com.

      Thanks for your reply! Is the web annoyances list better than the built-in one in uBO. Should I disable the standard one?
