A nice place to discuss rumors, happenings, innovations, and challenges in the technology sphere. We also welcome discussions on the intersections of technology and society. If it’s technological news or discussion of technology, it probably belongs here.
Remember the overriding ethos on Beehaw: Be(e) Nice. Each user you encounter here is a person, and should be treated with kindness (even if they’re wrong, or use a Linux distro you don’t like). Personal attacks will not be tolerated.

Firefox translations is good, but i'd recommend linguist instead, its still on-device (if you switch to the local engine in its settings), but is more feature rich, and i've found it to provide higher quality translations.
Theres also privacy pass for cloudfare's captchas
I'd use libredirect instead, achieves the same purpose but also works with a tonne of other services as well and not just twitter -> nitter redirects, but also reddit -> libreddit, youtube -> piped, etc.
The only usecase for containers are multiple accounts, not privacy/security, fission's sandboxing already takes care of that on firefox.
You have a huge number of addons though, i'd try to limit the number of installed addons unless it provides a purpose which is absolutely essential, can't most of these addons be replaced with userscripts in violentmonkey? At least that way it's more confined, in that it has privileges over a specific website rather than the entire browser. Know that every addon is a risk, even if the addon itself isn't malicious, it could have a security vulnerability to be exploited.
