   DNS-Blocklists: For a better internet - keep the internet clean!

   

   Both Brave & Opera have built in adblockers that are not dependent on Manifest to run. I haven't played with Opera too much, but Brave lets you add custom lists and works quite well. Combine that with a DNS based adblocker such as HaGeZi [1] or OISD from free DNS providers like ControlD or NextDNS and you'll be golden.

4. firefox-omni-tweaks

   3 3 47 0.0 Shell

   A script that disables the clickSelectsAll behavior of Firefox, and more.

   

   .key = W

   See: https://github.com/SebastianSimon/firefox-omni-tweaks how it can be done.

   I do this myself as ctrl-n has to be new tab for me, forever, and firefox broke the old keyconfig extension years and years ago. (I had ctrl-n create tabs with an external window manager back in netscape 4 times and opera (pre-chrome-fork one) after that.)

   Brave browser for Android, iOS, Linux, macOS, Windows.

   

   At the very least, I do not trust a browser that was putting affiliate links to unsuspecting users' urls [0]. Plus I tbh I am really sick of everything tending to be chromium-derivatives nowadays and I think it is good to have greater diversity, to exactly avoid situation susch as the one here.

6. hosts

   5 314 27,767 9.5 Python

   🔒 Consolidating and extending hosts files from several well-curated sources. Optionally pick extensions for porn, social media, and other categories.

   

   Time for a reminder that pretty good ad-blocking can be done with no software at all, just a customised hosts file - https://github.com/StevenBlack/hosts :-)
