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.

Ublock Origin is an obvious one, but I also can't stand not having Foxy Gestures anymore. It adds customizable mouse gestures, so you can set it up to have easy swipes to go back a page, reload a page, close a tab, etc, and it feels wonderful and smooth to use compared to just using the traditional buttons to do everything. Honestly it's kinda wild to me that this isn't more popular now that people are so used to phone gestures. It's good for the same reasons!

Does anyone know of an extension that let's you view privated subs on Reddit? I'm tired of the not being able to access important info because of the blackouts. If anyone knows of an extension or a TamperMonkey script please let me know!

Bypass Paywalls Clean - It allows me to read articles on a huge number of sites without having to login or pay. I already have access to news sites I care about through legitimate means but for the sake of being able to quickly read something, this extension cannot be beat.

I recently got into preventing browser fingerprinting and apparently extensions can make you more identifiable, so I cut down on the extensions I used and I would be on just uBlock Origin if I didn't love Return Youtube Dislike and Sponsorblock so much

Sponsorblock. Makes YouTube, even with Premium, a lot more enjoyable.

Members of the community highlight built in sponsored segments and the extension/addon allows you to skip over them.
