SingleFile
Web Extension and CLI tool for saving a faithful copy of a complete web page in a single HTML file
I agree it would be "great" a complete website in the ZIP. I think this is technically possible, someone just have to code it.
-
metamask-extension
:globe_with_meridians: :electric_plug: The MetaMask browser extension enables browsing Ethereum blockchain enabled websites
For this tutorial you will need Metamask or other wallet of your choice, with Scroll Sepolia funds that you can get from a Sepolia faucet and then bridge them to L2 using the Scroll Sepolia bridge. Alternatively, you can use a Scroll Sepolia Faucet to get funds directly on L2.

Firefox privacy, security and anti-tracking: a comprehensive user.js template for configuration and hardening
-
https://github.com/alyssaxuu/omni - for self-organization and optional browsing through your bookmarks in a familiar way (if you like Cmd+K spotlight search bar a common pattern in many modern applications, this is for you!)
-

Project mention: Why Bother with uBlock Being Blocked in Chrome? Time to Switch to Firefox | news.ycombinator.com | 2023-11-27
Addressing grandparent's comment regarding lack of tab grouping, I made a custom stylesheet for TST that somewhat tries to tackle this:

Project mention: German court declares Do Not Track to be legally binding | news.ycombinator.com | 2023-10-31
https://github.com/OhMyGuus/I-Still-Dont-Care-About-Cookies does reject non-technical cookies – as much as it can – but https://github.com/Cookie-AutoDelete/Cookie-AutoDelete will do the rest.

Project mention: MULLVAD VPN AND THE TOR PROJECT TEAM UP TO RELEASE THE MULLVAD BROWSER. - Blog | Mullvad VPN | /r/mullvadvpn | 2023-04-03
-
AdGuard DNS - I found the filtering ability of Covenant Eyes somewhat underwhelming, so instead I use AdGuard DNS. In case you don't know, DNS (Domain Name Server) filtering is incredibly useful for blocking porn. Furthermore, if you pay for AdGuard VPN, you get AdGuard DNS thrown in for free (so you get privacy AND web filtering). AdGuard has other products as well that can be used in conjunction with the VPN and DNS servers. (adguard.com)

Betterfox
Firefox speed, privacy, and security: a user.js template for configuration. Your favorite browser, but better.
Project mention: Need advice: What browser would you recommend for someone who wants to sync between Linux, Mac and iOS | /r/browsers | 2023-11-12I use Brave/Firefox, so I might be biased, but I think they are the best options. If you want things to be lightweight, you could just remove some of the fat from Firefox using something like Betterfox.

multi-account-containers
Firefox Multi-Account Containers lets you keep parts of your online life separated into color-coded tabs that preserve your privacy. Cookies are separated by container, allowing you to use the web with multiple identities or accounts simultaneously.
Project mention: Ask HN: Why does Firefox have such a low market share anyways? | news.ycombinator.com | 2023-07-17the opposite is true, too, since "Clear History" in Chrome Profiles behaves correctly and (AFAIK) is scoped just to that Profile unlike our container friend: https://github.com/mozilla/multi-account-containers/issues/3...
I still use them because combined with https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/open-url-in-c... ( https://github.com/honsiorovskyi/open-url-in-container ) is a game changer for my workflow but it does make me sad that issue has been open for so long
-
privacy-redirect
A simple web extension that redirects Twitter, YouTube, Instagram & Google Maps requests to privacy friendly alternatives.
There is an open-source browser extension called Privacy Redirect which will turn all Twitter links you click into Nitter links [0].
This also turns Reddit links into Libreddit/Teddit links, YouTube links into Invidious links, etc.
Basically you get to browse an Internet without intrusive pre-roll ads or outrage algorithms. I think based on your comment that this might be of interest to you.

SingleFileZ
Web Extension to save a faithful copy of an entire web page in a self-extracting ZIP file
You can do the same thing with SingleFileZ [1] which can protect saved pages with a password. It relies on the zip specification to store encrypted resources.
