Push to Kindle sends any text article to PDF or to your ereader (not only Kindle)
Recipe Filter filters recipe pages on blogs and just gets the actual ingredients & instructions
Redirector for a few paywalls where I use a specific proxy
RSS Reader Extension (by Inoreader) - as I use Inoreader for following RSS feeds
Sci Hub Injector adds sci-hub links to many science publishing websites for easy access
Shinigami Eyes highlights trans-friendly and transphobic social media users or websites
uBlock Origin

Extensions to be helpful to other people:
Picket Line Notifier tells you if the website you are visiting has workers on strike - useful especially for ecommerce & news publishers
Snowflake is not noticeable for me, but allows other people to use my network as a Tor node or something idk
Wayback Machine archives every page I visit on the Internet Archive.
Fediverse extensions:
FediAct allows me to boost, reply to, follow, etc. on any Mastodon instance without having to open the right link in my own instance. I wish there was something like this for Lemmy and Peertube.
Fedishare allows for one-click sharing to several Fediverse platforms, including Lemmy and Mastodon
PeerTubeify tries to check if a YouTube video you're watching is also on PeerTube
Youtube extensions:
Auto HD / 4k / 8k pour YouTube™ - I use it for the environment, so default quality is 480px (because usually I watch the videos on a small side window so it doesn't change the visible quality)
Clickbait Remover for YouTube - replaces thumbnails with a frame from the video and makes all titles normally named, no all caps
DF YouTube (Distraction Free) - removes the homepage & sidebar on videos to avoid rabbit holes
SponsorBlock auto-skips sponsored segments, intros, credit rolls, etc. on YouTube videos
uBO, of course. note: you guys don't need ClearURLs with this list added. LibRedirect for automatically opening Youtube, Twitter, TikTok etc. links in their privacy-focused front-ends. I just make sure to disable all the instances by esmailelbob since he's a little homophobic shithead Buster for automatic captcha solving Consent-O-Matic automatically clicks through cookies banner to deny all the cookies that aren't necessary, which I like better than just hiding the cookie banner Redirect AMP to HTML because fuck AMP and fuck Google
I see a lot of people using decentraleyes, no script, privacy badger, etc along ublock. Just wanna point out that these with ublock are generally redundant and actually increase your fingerprint.
You're right, preventing tracking and canvas fingerprinting ironically is in itself a fairly unique fingerprint. Although I'm not sure if not using decentraleyes is worth the tradeoff. It prevents hitting more third party sources altogether at the marginal cost of making you slightly more unique to the first party. Happy to learn more if I misunderstood.
The one niche software I have used was Meshroom. A free alternative to software that costs hundreds of thousands of dollars, to take input images, use similarities between images to place them in a 3d space, and output a 3D model.
WebODM, OpenMVG and COLMAP are also open source with similar functions, but Meshroom is an easy-to-use one-stop shop for beginners to enthusiasts.
DownThemAll lets you download all the links or images on a website and much more: you can refine your downloads by fully customizable filters to get only what you really want.
Comes in really handy sometimes. (For Firefox / Chrome / Edge)
Another is uBlacklist, which allows you to blacklist domains from Google / Bing / DDG search results (like say, pinterest.*), also for Firefox / Chrome / Edge.
This is disheartening to see as someone who just switched to Invidious. Does anyone with more in-depth knowledge on how Invidious and similar Youtube front-ends work know if it’s possible for Google to shutdown access to their servers for Invidious/Piped instances?
I just want to say the maintainer who wrote that appears to have handled this gracefully. It gives me hope.
They’ve made a transparent public announcement, making it clear what we should and shouldn’t expect from them, and how we should handle it. They understand the FOSS paradigm (no, I correct myself, the digital paradigm) and have given their blessings for the community to do what they do best. I’d guess the smart thing to do is play along with the cease notice to avoid consequences, go underground and make YouTube play whack-a-mole with sock-puppets and hostile jurisdictions.
Cut off one head and three shall take its place. Wind in your back lads, wherever you go.
It looks real slick, but there is one note-worthy bit:
Does Kera Desktop only support web apps?
For now, yes. Support for Linux apps is perfectly possible and on the roadmap. For other platforms, we will see what’s possible.
I’m not a fan of web-apps generally, but the transparency sure is pretty! @o
