  • ublock origin, first last and if necessary only extension you really need
  • dark reader
  • youtube shorts block - converts shorts links into regular video player with actual fucking seek/volume controls
  • youtube sponsor block - I pay for my bandwidth, I decide what gets downloaded.
  • privacy badger

Youtube Unhook lets you disable specific parts of the website: Shorts, Recommendations, Comments, and lets you redirect from startpage to subscriptions like in the olden days.

Bring back the dislike button or something like that for YT.

Shorts are the only thing that really annoyed me, I don't mind recommendations or comments, and I just keep a tab open on my subs page all the time anyway.

Doesn't Firefox have reader mode with dark mode built in? Don't get me wrong, I find that functionality indispensable, but I didn't think it required a plugin.

Maybe? shrug I didn't look too hard, I stumbled across someone talking about dark reader and was like 'I must have this in my life.'
