Sponsor block for youtube works great, grease monkey for scripts, too
Consent-O-Matic (has to be downloaded from the main website, and not the android sub category)
And what you wish to have other than that depends on your needs.
I myself have an extension to unlock Bing AI on Firefox android.
Google Search Fixer (for when I need a Google service)
TWP - Translate Web Pages
And more.
Web archives Bypass Paywalls Clean ClearURL View Page Source (I'm seriously surprised it's not a basic feature.)
Redirect AMP to HTML if you hate amp like me
NoScript
uBlock Origin
Dark Reader
A bit niche, but I love Shinigami Eye. It highlights trans-friendly sites and profiles in green and transphobic ones in red.
tampermonkey
I heard violentmonkey was an opensource alternative to that.
Dark reader
Dark reader is amazing but I have seen a noticeable impact on page load times from time to time.
Not only load time, some sites have really bad performance with it, i just stop using the handful i've come across.
Not having dark mode implemented and having trash code is a good reason to stop being used.
CanvasBlocker.

I switched to Ff on all devices last week and I have no complaints. Other than email, I'm slowly migrating from all Google products.

Now do iOS. (Yes I know Apple has to release their stranglehold on the browser first.)

a long-overdue and very welcome addition to mobile.
Writing from a privacy perspective remember, browser add-ons can potentially make it easier to fingerprint or recognize an individual. But still, I can't help but love this new FF feature.
Remember to use containers for everything

Also you can put the url bar on the bottom 😍
That's not new, though.
That's possible for quite some years, good that you've found it though.

I guess time to switch to Android!
Hail to the king, baby
Bah, no sign of "Save webP as PNG or JPEG" yet.
what's wrong with webp? it's a significantly more efficient file format (like 20% less file size for the same quality) and is supported everywhere by now. if anything, the default should be webp for image types that can be both lossy and losslessly compressed
Surprisingly not everywhere yet, some messaging apps don't support webp yet
Didn't they already support all addons a few years ago, and then limited it to the hand-picked ones?
Yes. It was restricted since they moved to web extensions. They removed the restrictions on this release.
over 450 add-ons
But no Cookie AutoDelete among them. Firefox Nightly is still better
It is, but only if you go on the main website, and not the android sub category https://addons.mozilla.org/fr/firefox/addon/cookie-autodelete/
