What browser extensions do you use?

[Rich Edmonds]

I use AdBlocker, Web of Trust, GIF ME, LastPass and Alexa.

 

[Varlot]

AdBlock and MediaHint (to watch American Netflix instead of the Norwegian one)

 

[Jesus]

Self Destructing Cookies
WebRTC Disable
AdBlock
Blur

 

[Platipoo]

Adblock plus, flashblock, and NoScript on firefox. I use none on chrome.

 

[Roy Jones]

I use page rank and Alexa rank tools.

 

[Sharon]

I currently do not use any browser extensions.

 

[Mikaya]

Adblocker Pro for Firefox. It comes in use to prevent those annoying ads that seem to want to distract you from what you're doing. 😛

Adblock Plus and Firebug are really the only ones I use

Safari:
- 1Password
- BackTrack
- Disconnect
- Ember
- JS Blocker
- Minimal Status Bar
- NoMoreiTunes
- uBlock*

Firefox:
- Firebug
- HTTPS-Everywhere
- NoScript
- Privacy Badger
- Random Agent Spoofer
- RequestPolicy
- Self-Destructing Cookies
- uBlock Origin

*It's a free and open source solution that despite being lightweight is still able to get the job done pretty darn well, if not better. I also like its element blocker. No pay-for-us-so-we-whitelist-your-ads.

Just Google Drive. I use it very often so I added this extension.

 

[Gizmo]

For Firefox I just use Color Picker and ad blocker.

What do Privacy Badger and RequestPolicy do?

What do Privacy Badger and RequestPolicy do?

Privacy Badger (by the EFF) has got to be one of my essentials for browsers that offer it — Chrome and Firefox currently. If you're familiar with extensions that prevents sites from tracking you like Disconnect and Ghostery; Privacy Badger is different from them in a way that it doesn't use pre-configured lists (that will never be complete and up-to-date), but identifies trackers algorithmically by keeping note of domains that follow you around across multiple webpages and try to use cookies or other unique identification methods.

RequestPolicy is a privacy-centred add-on that complements NoScript. It provides me the convenience of controlling when cross-site requests are allowed by webpages. That being said, I'm only giving this one a trial run for the moment. While they're supposed to be used together too many extensions of the same nature will only give me headaches in the long run so I'm trying to settle for fewer ones.

I guess, in a way, Safari is my everyday browser for most stuff and then there's Firefox readily available and properly armed for when my paranoia strikes. :rofl:

I used page rank tool and Ad blocker tool.

 

[Cosmic]

ScriptSafe, HTTP Headers, a password manager, AdBlock, Web Developer, SEO for Chrome, User Agent Switcher, Live CSS Editor, ColorPicker, Custom Javascript for Websites, IPvFoo, and Awesome Screenshot. 😛

 

[Grumpy]

Just AdBlock Pro and Gyazo for Chrome for me. Screenshots and blocking ads. I actually have ads enabled on most sites, and mainly use it for large sites like Facebook, or YouTube (to get rid of the ridiculous ads before videos!).
