Tabby. A tab manager, but I mainly use it to search for tabs.
Is there any add-on for me to get YouTube on Firefox to behave more like the YouTube kids app? I've been trying to find a way to set up YouTube with an allowlist on my kids' computer but for now I just have the entire site blocked. They don't need YouTube but they watch educational videos on it at school and they want to watch them at home, too. Blocking individual channels is like playing whack-a-mole.
You could probably do this by hosting Invidious or Piped, only allowing certain channels, proxying the video stream thru the Invidious server, and blocking youtube on your kids' devices. There are apps for the services you can bind to the website
Thanks, I'll try that out.
Oh I just had a midnight idea. Let your kids add channels to the allowlist somehow. Since they know you'll review it, they won't add anything shitty
apart from all the adblocking and privacy stuff, gesturify is one of my favourites. i got used to mouse gestures back when opera was still good and happily kept using them in vivaldi. if it wasn't for this addon, i probably wouldn't have been able to switch, when google enforced their manifest v3 bullshit.
streaming enhanced is another great one. it automatically skips intro and outro of shows, so you don't have to fumble around with whatever remote you use. It also shows imdb ratings, so it's easier to avoid stinkers, that the services are trying to push.
finally, i'd like to mention comet. i know we hate Reddit here, but usually reddit comments are still better than youtube comments.
Gesturify looks really cool, can you share with us your use cases?
- BlockTube: Allows you to block YouTube Channels and Video as using "Do Not Recommend Channel" doesn't exactly work
- Bitwarden - Loves the auto-fill feature
- uBlacklist - More easier to block URL result on various search engine. Only use it as I can't be arsed tried to learn how to manually make filter on uBlock and want something that I can block Daily Mail on my search with just a click. It's just the job done so happy to use it.
These are pretty good
popup blocker (strict)
Adnauseam, based on ublock, but clicks obfuscates and clicks adds for you so google gets bad data
