A very useful URL shortening rule set and some other very useful add ons for Firefox.


This ruleset for Ublock Origin is a handy URL shortening tool. This will remove extraneous stuff from the end of a URL to make it easier to copy and paste to share online.

Image Max URL. This addon for Firefox allows the user always to find the maximum resolution of an image quickly. very useful for downloading wallpaper images.

Test your browser fingerprinting here: https://abrahamjuliot.github.io/creepjs/. Even changing your user agent is not enough to hide the operating system you are running. I guess it would require a far more complex set of changes to do that. The section of Creepjs that checks the fonts πŸ‘¨β€πŸ‘©β€πŸ‘§β€πŸ‘¦ can still get the operating system I am running. Even though the user agent reports I am running macOS Monterey, there are still ways to get the OS. This can also get my screen resolution and my timezone. But if you are really paranoid you would block scripts and Java ♨, that would stop most fingerprinting, although it could detect that you are not using scripts, but you still visited the website and this would stand out.

Bypass Paywalls Clean. This bypasses paywalls on news websites. This is very useful indeed for browsing the news online and not having to worry about the paywall the sites insist on using.

https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/sponsorblock/.

SponsorBlock will automatically block sponsored segments in Youtube videos. This is an indispensable addon for Firefox. This allows you to also submit a section of video as a sponsored segment so it will be added to the database.

TWP – Translate Web Pages
https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/traduzir-paginas-web/.

This Firefox addon allows inline translation of a web page as seen with the Chrome web browser, just a pity it can not use Deepl translation. But this would still be very useful indeed.
