I really enjoy Firefox on Android as I can install a bunch of extensions and I find those extensions game changer, especially on the mobile.

One of my favorites are

  • Libredirect - literally one of my favorite ones. Redirects popular sites to privacy focused frontends, like YouTube to Invidious, etc.
  • uBlock Origin - I guess everyone knows this one
  • Privacy Badger - blocks trackers
  • Ghostery - blocks trackers, ads, scripts, etc.

What extensions do you guys use?

For me, it's many of the ones people have already said, plus:

  • StreetPass (seriously cool - collects the mastodon profile of any website you visit where someone has set up the special link to their profile)
  • Video Speed Controller (gives you fine-grained control over video speed, e.g. watching video at 2.6x speed)
  • Privacy redirect (automatically redirects to various services, e.g. from Twitter to Nitter - can select a random instance each time)

Privacy redirect is unmaintained, not updated for 3 years, switch to LibRedirect

Thank you for taking the time to write this, LibRedirect is so much better!

Does privacy redirect automatically know if the instance is healthy? Or does it sometimes redirect you to a invidious or nitter or libreddit instance that's broken?

Because if this thing is health-aware, the. It would save me so much time.

Unfortunately, I think it just picks randomly. I have had times where it has redirected me to an instance that is down. That said, if you have an instance you know is stable, it does give you a drop-down to always redirect to a specific one.
