Also from the official announcement (https://blog.mozilla.org/addons/2023/11/28/open-extensions-on-firefox-for-android-debut-december-14-but-you-can-get-a-sneak-peek-today/ ):

Starting December 14, 2023, extensions marked as Android compatible on addons.mozilla.org (AMO) will be openly available to Firefox for Android users.

“We’ve been so impressed with developer enthusiasm and preparation,” said Giorgio Natili, Firefox Director of Engineering. “Just a few weeks ago it looked like we might have a couple hundred Android extensions for launch, but now we can safely say AMO will have 400+ new Firefox for Android extensions available on December 14. We couldn’t be more thankful to our developer community for embracing this exciting moment.”

uBlock is already available on Firefox mobile as well as Tampermonkey, I'm not hating but what other extensions should I be excited to try? At the moment that's all I need to use.

What are you going to install?

Consentomatic is the only other one I can think of, cookie popups are so much worse on mobile

[–] stepanzak@iusearchlinux.fyi 16 points 11 months ago

I think there's a filter for cookie popups in uBlock. I'm still using the I still don't care about cookies extension tho.

[–] pruneaue@lemmy.blahaj.zone 10 points 11 months ago (1 children)

The "annoyances" filters in ublock stop the cookie popups

[–] TheWinged7@lemm.ee 2 points 11 months ago (1 children)

I don't want to just block them though, I want to deny cookie use automatically and hide the popup

[–] SteveTech@programming.dev 5 points 11 months ago (1 children)

You haven't consented to cookies until you click agree, so there shouldn't be any difference if the website is GDPR compliant.

[–] andthenthreemore@startrek.website 2 points 11 months ago (1 children)

That's a pretty big if. I've seen sites with banners at the top that say something along the lines of, "by dismissing this banner or continuing to use the site you're consenting to cookies"

[–] SteveTech@programming.dev 2 points 11 months ago

That's a good point, but in that case I wouldn't think Consent-O-Matic would be able to do much about it.

[–] SweatyFireBalls@lemmy.world 5 points 11 months ago

This single extension is why I'm excited for it myself.

Midnight Lizard, it's better than Dark Reader. Skip Redirect is also pretty handy to fast-forward those pesky url shorter page redirections.

[–] moitoi@feddit.de 4 points 11 months ago

It's available on Nightly.

[–] Airradda@programming.dev 4 points 11 months ago (1 children)

Is there a more updated fork that you use? The last update for Midnight Lizard was ~3 years ago.

[–] d3Xt3r@lemmy.nz 2 points 11 months ago

The current one works fine for me, haven't really had any issues. There is an updated fork on Github, but they haven't made a release yet (and they haven't changed/fixed anything major yet).

[–] Bebo@literature.cafe 10 points 11 months ago

I would like to install the bring back youtube dislike extension. Otherwise I'm happy with what I have already

[–] SomeonePrime@lemmy.world 7 points 11 months ago

Privacy badger/possum were welcome sights for me personally.

[–] MigratingtoLemmy@lemmy.world 2 points 11 months ago (2 children)

Could you tell me what you do with tampermonkey/greasemonkey?

[–] AlmightySnoo@lemmy.world 6 points 11 months ago* (last edited 11 months ago) (1 children)

You can for example restyle old.reddit.com so that it renders nicely on mobile if you don't want to install an app for that: https://github.com/OctoNezd/oldlander (see the Tampermonkey section)

[–] MigratingtoLemmy@lemmy.world 2 points 11 months ago

Ooh, I'll take a look thanks

[–] mannycalavera@feddit.uk 2 points 11 months ago (1 children)

I use it to run automation on a website where there's lots of pointing and clicking. It's pretty cool you can do quite a lot with it.

[–] MigratingtoLemmy@lemmy.world 2 points 11 months ago

I'll have to check out the various scripts available. Thanks!
