Firefox Add-ons

My favourite Firefox add-ons/extensions.

General

AdBlock Tips
  • Before creating a filer, check if you can fine-tune the rule, e.g. adding a wildcard * might make it more generic, or blocking a whole domain instead of a subdomain
  • domain##div>a:has-text(/promoted post/): at domain, remove any <div> containing a link with text "promoted post".
Personal individual tweaks
  • Allow CORS with local file:// urls: about:config → privacy.file_unique_origin → false
  • Site Isolation on Firefox: about:config → fission.autostart → true (can check info at about:processes)
  • Disable media autoplay: about:config → media.autoplay.default → 0 and media.block-autoplay-until-in-foreground → true
  • Force dark mode under Linux: about:config → ui.systemUsesDarkTheme → 1
  • Enabling DNS-over-HTTPS
