  • youtube-dlp-gui-installer

    An Automatic installer for dlp-gui project

    I also use archive.ph for article paywalls, Night Owl for global darkmode, NordVPN for jumping geofences (I know their ads are a meme and that they're not the best for privacy, but they have a huge range of IP addresses for geounblocking against which the smaller, more privacy-conscious VPNs can't compete), and AnyStream Plus, StreamFab, the Internet Downloader Manager, JDownloader2, and kannagi0303's gui for yt-dlp together with The Stream Detector (filter for "master") for downloading videos.

  • anti-adblock-killer

    Anti-Adblock Killer helps you keep your Ad-Blocker active, when you visit a website and it asks you to disable.

    On Windows, I use Anti-Adblock Killer + uBlock Origin + SponsorBlock + YouTube Enhancer (which adds many features such as granular custom speed up to 14x).
