Ever since Twitch Now stopped working, I found Gumbo which is working really well.

I've not used either of those. I don't get it. Are these Third Party wrappers for Twitch or extensions that just push Twitch notifications?

Some of these are specialized tools, but to start, I make big, big use of dedicated containers, Google, Amazon, Reddit, Pixiv, Tumblr, and Discord. Sidebar note, uBlock Origin, NoScript, Bypass Paywalls Clean, Container Sidebar, Downloads Sidebar, Get RSS Feed URL, Pixiv Toolkit, FediShare, Tumblr - Post to Tumblr, Twitter Gif & Video Downloader, and Video Downloadhelper

Stylus has been a pretty newish one for me, been using it a lot to make Lemmy feeds wider and take up my entire screen

There's also a convert webp to anything extension that is really handy to have

Video download helper is cool too

I'm interested in both Stylus & Video DownloadHelper. For capturing video downloads i used to use IDM's extension. But it's not free to use. Now I'll have to give this a try.

Video download helper is a bit funny with youtube videos, iirc it adds a water mark to any you dl, as it wants you to donate, if you don't wanna donate just get ytdlp gui to get your YouTube videos

Video download helper works great for other videos that are sometimes hard to find the url of

Thanks! These containers extensions are awesome and I plan on using them. Some websites come to mind.

But, do you know if there is a way to recreate user Profiles in Firefox like Chrome does?

[–] mensrea@freeradical.zone 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

@Justly0250 i remember seeing something about it somewhere but i've never used anything like that

[–] Justly0250@lemdro.id 1 points 1 year ago (2 children)

Chrome's Profiles are awesome. I'm looking for similar solutions in Firefox.
