Try libredirect, it automatically redirects links from twitter, youtube, imgur and many other spying platforms to alternative privacy friendly frontends. It is also very customizable: you can turn only some redirects and configure what particular site to use for each platform.

Since version 120 is coming to mobile soon with about 200 extensions (as mentioned in the article), can anyone recommend some good extensions that are newly added? I have ublock origin, HD YouTube, Google search fixer, clear url fixer, dark reader, privacy badger, and ghostery

Good suggestion! I haven’t heard of this before and it seems like a great tool considering how much things have changed recently on these platforms
Botzo@lemmy.world 11 months ago
You’ve hit all the great ones, most of which were already available.
Have you added the bypass paywall clean filter list to ublock? Here’s the url you can copy paste under “import” in the ublock addon settings: gitlab.com/magnolia1234/…/bpc-paywall-filter.txt
EddieTee77@lemdro.id 11 months ago
I haven’t done this. Thank you so much for this suggestion!

You don’t need Privacy Badger and Ghostery anymore if you turn the Enhanced Tracking Protection up to “strict” in settings.
Swarfega@lemm.ee 11 months ago
Ghostery has been great for denying cookie pop-ups. I don’t think this setting will replace this feature?
EddieTee77@lemdro.id 11 months ago
Oh even better! I would rather have settings in my browser instead of relying on extensions anyway. One of the many things I love about Firefox
TheMadnessKing@lemdro.id 11 months ago
You can also drop ClearURLs filter. Better filters that are more up to date exists exists on uBlock like Adguard URL Tracking Protection and Actually Legitimate URL Shortener Tool.
EddieTee77@lemdro.id 11 months ago
I wasn’t aware. It really seems like uBlock origin can do everything I had all those extra extensions for! Pretty impressive
TheMadnessKing@lemdro.id 11 months ago
Yes. It’s really a powerful tool that helps to keep the Web tidy and sane.
EddieTee77@lemdro.id 11 months ago
What amazes me is how much of the web is practically unusable without it… And yet the majority of users don’t have it

I think ghostery is owned by an ad company. I wouldn’t trust it.
EddieTee77@lemdro.id 11 months ago
Seriously? I had no idea. That’s kind of ironic if it is
Zeroc00l@sh.itjust.works 11 months ago
Yeah, privacy badger and ghostery are no longer recommended, unlock origin will do their job (better).

What’s wrong with Privacy Badger? Isn’t that from EFF?
EddieTee77@lemdro.id 11 months ago
Do I need to adjust any settings?

I’m surprised I haven’t heard this before. Thanks! I will proceed to only use uBlock Origin from now on (although I really enjoy the auto-reject cookies)
