Ask HN: Which Firefox add-ons are you using in 2025?

6•vintageclothldn•9mo ago
I've just got a new macbook air and I'm re-evaluating which Firefox add-ons to use.

So far I have:

Privacy badger Unhook Firefox Containers uBlock Origin

What are your most useful ones for 2025? Anything significant that I'm missing?

Comments

baobun•9mo ago
NoScript

SponsorBlock

LibRedirect

Konkret Wallet (in case you do want a browser crypto wallet)

FoxyProxy (if you want more proxy/VPN customization than Containers)

laserstrahl•9mo ago
+1 for LibDirect! UBlock Origin nothing else I guess K.I.S.S.
thaumiel•9mo ago
uBlock Origin, Tab Stash, Bitwarden, Consent-O-Matic, Terms of Service;Didn't Read, Dark Reader. I use Tab Stash instead of bookmarks to (try) keep track of interesting webpages, it's not working well with the organization of pages. But I have a pretty good history since I started to use it, in 19th July 2023. I have been "forced" to use it, when firefox has started to use too much memory on my Macbook, so I have been forced to close down firefox to be able to keep using it.
MzHN•9mo ago
My masochist anti-tracking set up:

- uBlock Origin with "Disable JavaScript" checked in the settings. Only enable for specific sites.

- Temporary Containers with "Automatic Mode" checked in the settings. Also MMB and Ctrl + LMB always open links in new temporary container. This provides full session isolation for all tabs. There are permanent named containers for logged-in services like email that are only used for email. Outbound links from email for example open in a new temporary container.

All browsing by default happens in a clean isolated session with JS disabled unless explicitly allowed.

I also have Behind The Overlay Revival for when I'm too lazy to zap elements with uBO.

Disposal8433•9mo ago
uBlock Origin obviously, and Cookie AutoDelete (in aggressive mode) to make my own privacy. That's all.

I have been using my own addon https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/todos-new-tab...

It's fairly simple helps me see my goals everyday since I use firefox

cinntaile•9mo ago
It's a bit weird that the only add-on you use is your own one.
owebmaster•9mo ago
Most people use none so this case is quite common for extension developers.
ValdikSS•9mo ago
I'll tell only about essential less-known ones:

- Group Speed Dial, to have a list of favorite websites in a new tab, #1 essential plugin in my opinion!

- Awesome RSS, to extract RSS links and put them into my reader (this is only extracting extension)

- Buster: captcha solver for humans, to skip ReCaptcha

- Dark Reader, to turn pages into white-on-black

- Drag-select Link Text, to select text on the page in a proper way, like the old Opera did

- Redirector, to automatically rewrite website domains, like reddit.com → old.reddit.com, and also to rewrite to Tor version of websites, because they are usually uncensored (like archive.is).

Kuyawa•9mo ago
As a Firefox user since phoenix 0.6 who used to develop tens of extensions I can say that only uBlock Origin is a must have. Alternatively I am using Brave with absolutely no extensions (ad blocker at the core) except Metamask and sometimes Safari for multiple browser web testing. After twenty years in web dev I can fairly say browsing the web without seeing ads is an extraordinary experience thanks to the exceptional effort of Mozilla in the early days.
solardev•9mo ago
I use 1password for passwords, Dark Reader to make give all sites dark mode (including HN), Hide Google AI Overviews, and Kagi Search.

Also use SponsorBlock for YouTube to auto-skip over sponsored sections (not commercials, but in-video product placement and sponsorship messages) and uBlacklist to filter a bunch of things out of Google Search (like Medium, Quora, Twitter).
