NOTE: You can also install these extensions on any Chromium-based browser, including Edge, Brave, Opera, etc
Okay. Thank you, ThioJoe
Where is uBlock Origin ?
I got the Xbox keyboard and mouse extension on edge and chrome before on my friends pc it’s one for Xcloud it makes it were you don’t have to connect a controller Im sure you Heard it before
Enderman: “Edge? Never heard of it”
Vivaldi is one!
8:51 authors often can't avoid a paywall on their articles, because publishing "open access" without paywall costs them between $1k and $10k. So as an author, you write the paper, you format the paper, you have it peer-reviewed by other voluntary scientists who are not paid at all, and then the journal wants you to pay them $10000 to upload your PDF on their website and to sign an agreement such that they can steal your copyright.
It's so fucking rediculous. But scientists like me have to just accept this, because we need to publish in "prestigious" journals to make the papers count as such. Some universities pay the fee, and some just don't care, so as an author you are then stuck with having your paper behind a stupid paywall. Scientific publishing is one giant scam by the journals.
That sounds really lame
As a medical scientist I agree. Medical journals have gone 'woke' and I don't trust them or reviewers like I did previously.
@@normangoldstuck8107 yes totally.
The functionality of Extensity is built-in in Firefox on the addons management page. (hamburger menu in the top right → Extensions and Themes).
Here you can find a little switch for every extension seperately with wich you can dis-/enable it.
5:45 That's also built-in into Firefox in form of the "Reading mode". Although that's not as complex but it gets the job done ;)
Yep totally true, I've seen it whenever I look through some extensions I have installed. Or whenever I want to install more.
@@pyp2205
I thought Chrome has a similar feature but I seem to be wrong because otherwise there would be no addon for this ealily-accessible feature.
I haven't used Firefox in some time, but I thought it opened a separate tab, like the Chrome menu does. The extension just opens a modal which is far faster, at least vs Chrome.
@@Blooest
I know, it's not a little popup but an own tab.
I think that's no big deal, especially as there's no need to install anything.
Not quite, as you can't do it from the "front". And it's a matter of conveniency. Not only doing it from the front, but it's *soo* compact. Do you know of an addon that compacts the FF addons page? It's not allowed anymore, right? So much for convenience.
Firefox has something similar to Bionic Reading, it's built in. It's called Caret Browser, activated by pressing F7
Interesting
Also in Internet Explorer and is common across most browsers but I guess just not blink-based browsers such as Chromium or Edge? Caret browsing has been around since at least the early 2000s
@@ThioJoe To emphasize the beginning of every word, theres another extension on Firefox called TorpedoRead. It doesn't do anything else, though :\
@@wclifton968gameplaystutorials Except Internet Explorer is now dead, gone and buried.
Thank you so much for Bionic Reading. I've been looking for this kind of extension but didn't know how to describe it in the google
I love "I Don't Care About Cookies," but I have come across a number of websites that were broken in the most random and unusable ways (for stuff that you don't need an account for), and 9 times out of 10, disabling this extension solves the issue.
I have seen many videos on the same topic and found none useful - but this was really useful... Thanks Joe
For Firefox:
Snap Links Plus - allows you to right click and drag then opens all links caught in rectangle in new tabs. Great for e.g., galleries to quickly see original sized pictures.
Song Identifier - pretty self explanatory. Play 5 seconds of unidentified music then it will search the database for result.
Unpaywall's never gotten me access to an article that wasn't already open access, but I keep it around just in case it'll help one day 😋.
As a tip for when an article is behind a paywall, I've gotten into a habit of searching the first few authors' names and landing on their lab website. Funnily enough, researchers often upload their own article PDFs for free viewing, separate from the journals where they've also paid to publish them.
Love all of these extension suggestions! thanks!
Thank You Thio Joe for your UA-cam videos!
Saves me again. Cool extensions. I got me some. Thanks Joe
The last one is built-in in Firefox (at least, Nightly), you just need to press Ctrl+Shift+M. You can switch the user-agent there as well
It works in Firefox 101 too. I didn't know about this feature.
The dev tools, at least in Chrome, only resize the viewport, not the window. That's what actual web developers care about, but it's not useful for screen-recording which is what Joe seemed to be targeting with the extension.
@@Blooest, that's also true. But I checked the extension/addon pages, and they stated something similar to what it does. Even had the sentence, it was more for the web-developers, but removed it afterwards, maybe it would be still good to keep, well.
Not sure about the recording capabilities, probably you can use dev tools, too, though it will still be a window inside a tab
Thanks Thio, I really needed this video
Thanks so much, these are really cool extensions.
I got the Cookie-one now! It's gonna be really helpful!
extremely usefu some of them!! NEED MORE!!!! Thanks !!!
Thanks for the tips. God bless!
thanks man you are great. you got a new subscriber
Nice one. Finally someone knows there are various kind browsers. I mean Firefox. And I'm still using and I'll use it.
Another useful extension-
UA-cam Summary with ChatGPT & Notes-This can help us study videos
Very glad you also cover firefox
On the Bionic Reading add-on you neglected to mention whether it'll allow you to PRINT that simplified page view. Now THAT would add real value to that extension!
"Country Flag Fixer" is also a really great Chrome extension if you are on Windows and don't see the country flag emoji's correctly!
Wow, thanks! I have been looking for an extension like this. This seems to work really good. It always annoyed me to see the country codes instead of the correct flag emoji's!
I don't understand why this is still an issue on Chrome (and Chromium-based browsers) but not on Firefox
@@nikkehtine Firefox uses the twitter emoji's which include the flags. That's why Firefox doesn't have the problem
Nice video man. I loved Super Copy the most. Will give this a shot.
Absolutely helpful! Thanks a bunch!
Another good one that's I think essential to everyone (at least who uses a lot of tabs) is Onetab. As you all know Chrome is a huge memory hog so onetab takes care of that. You just simply save the other tabs you're not using by taping the onetab funnel icon and then it saves those tabs as one page and you can do a lot with them for example share them, star them, rename them and a whole bunch more.
He listed Onetab in a previous video of this sort. I have it but I still have way to many tabs.
@@grn1 I know just a reminder
I love the SVG export because of the images, Font Defender, and the Cookie extension for privacy reasons. I wonder if there is an adblocking extension on chrome
One and only "Ublock origin"
ADGUARD
That was actually a really useful little video. Thanks, Joe. Now to just download me some additional RAM. 🤭
This was great. Could you do something similar for Windows apps? Like neat ones that people might not be aware of.
Your stuff is day by day it's much more cool.
I prefer Consent-o-Matic over I Don't Care About Cookies since you can really set what you want to accept and it's designed to work better with the GDPR compliant forms (and I use a Netherlands VPN). There's also Cookies Auto Delete but the problem is that one still has no syncing so it's a pain to backup and manually transfer the settings.
These extensions look useful, but there are a couple extensions available for Chromium-based browsers and Firefox that I personally recommend (as well as other people). One is of course ublock origin, which we all know is used for blocking ads and blocking elements. Like whenever I see these annoying donation buttons from sites that seem untrustworthy to me (I don't like to donate anyway). Then I would block the element.
Another extension I would also recommend is NoScript. It is a chrome and Firefox extension that would block JavaScript executions. Because we all know if we disable JavaScript systemwide, then the internet would pretty much be unusable. But with this extension, you can use the internet and you could potentially save yourself from potentially malicious JavaScript executions. In this extension there would be a dashboard for each tab where you can set it to be trusted, temporary trusted, untrusted, etc. And you can even disable it globally (not recommended) or for the tab you're using. It can be annoying to whitelist domains when you first use it. But after a while you'll see why this would be useful for protecting yourself from potentially malicious malware.
Came here to recommend both of these. First ones I install on fresh Firefox. NoScript requires a little work whitelisting domains needed by sites, but it protects from a lot of potential attacks and page bloat, slowness, and popups.
Been using for years. You soon learn what's the minimum amount of scripts needed per site for functionality.
Thank you so much for sharing your experience with us. God bless you .
Very cool video these are some cool extensions
The reason why some websites blocks paste it’s because some viruses replace your copied text with other stuff (usually happened with crypto addresses)
Thanks for that first one, My browser fingerprint was very anonymoys but I had no idea there way to solve font tracking finally.
Also the second one is great
Is there an tool to block extension list tracking yet?
Nah no way for extensions list that i know of, though not sure if that's being used by companies yet, the one guy just made a proof of concept. They might though
I love timestamps because that way you can skip the sponsors. But you got me on "A Very Good Thing" 🤣🤣🤣
Salute to your brain Joe!!
Yeah lol
03:40 FINALLY! This is an extension I really needed.
If you use you block origin or ad block you can actually add the I don't care about cookies list into that so you don't need to run and extra adon
i love to see new extensions
I found 3 of the extensions usfull for me, thx for video upload.
about the article unlocking, one resource I recommend for that is 12ft, since that just removed the paywall from the page you're on.
Can you check out Trace? It's like ublock origin but more toward fingerprinting protection. It should work well most of the time but doesn't seem to be updated regularly.
The "I Don't Care About Cookies" is pretty cool. Thank you, for sharing. ;-)
please make this kind of video more often 🙏
Some good add ons thanks
In the case of firefox you can force the context menu by holding shift + rightclick
I would recommend adding Night Tab. It makes your new tab highly customizable.
Good to know
Have you tried Wise Dash? If you like Night Tab you might love it!
Good sharing thank you 😊
6.30 Firefox actually has this sort of a read mode installed as default. It is not as adjustable and is pretty basic, but is nice if you need one. There pops up a document icon in the url bar to use it.
* 6:30
I might use the 1st extension (font fingerprint defender) on my tor browser and Firefox at some time
I was looking for a way to quickly disable extensions in firefox. THANK YOU
Those are pretty cool extensions.
more video like this please! maybe also make a video on some extension that have potential but need help
Unpaywall at 8:52 can speed up tracking down originals/full-Sources... I can first try Unpaywall, then if that doesn't work, go through the more laborious routines that I've had to try up to now. THANKS, I'll try your suggestion.
SingleFile Saves the website as a single file. Instead of relying on a pdf copy, one can extract Elements and javascript. That way all the fancy pages that doesn't really play well with screenshots or printing can be captured. Great for tracking sources offline.
There is also SingleFileZ, but could soon become deprecated, because of browser permissons. It saves them in a compressed format.
More extensions means the more unique the browser fingerprinting. Umatrix better for delaying with both ads and cookie requests
It isn't updated anymore and the developer itself told to not use it now
I would love to see a video about how to screen record with sound or evaluating free screen recorders for 2022.
I remember extension that allow us to skip the ads when open some website / link, its logo like an arrow, it really helps me a lot, but I don't remember what extension that is
8:04 I use a simple extension that's called "Allow Right-Click" for firefox here. I use that for images most of the time, so I can use IMU (try finding larger image).
😳
Thanks for the education TheoJeo. Are these all free? Well, I'll try them all.
Hey ThioJoe, could you do a video on how to "improve" your phone? Maybe optimized settings for Android or iOS or show off cool and usefull apps? Thanks in advance!
For Android, try an app to move other apps to the SD card -- and one of the highly rated phone cleaners, like CCleaner (4.6) or AVG Cleaner (4.7). Those help to keep my older phones useable.
For these work on chrome in Macs? I would think so but just asking. Thank you for this video!!!!
You should add tampermonkey also on the list. It can let you pass UA-cam age restriction on video without you need to log in.
I love these types of videos :)
I tried Guardio using your code on an earlier video you posted and they overcharged me despite listing a much cheaper price. The email they sent about the next charge also said they’d be charging me more next time. I’m exaggerating here these aren’t actual prices, but the initial charge was supposed to be like, $20 and they instead charged me $40 then in the email said they’d charge me $60 next time.
tomba email finder chrome extension is the light at the end of the lead generation tunnel. It’s a beacon for B2B businesses.
Protip for I don't care about cookies, Vivaldi actually has that built in, though it's not enabled by default and a bit hidden. Go to Settings > Privacy and Security > Scroll to Tracker and Ad blocking > manage sources > after scrolling through the ad blocking list, check EasyList Cookie list and I don't care about cookies
That last one made me so happy to see, too many times have I watched tutorials on a mobile device and not been able to read something.
Even if you can't install the extension may I recommend going full screen and changing the pages zoom to 150%.
I personally record 1/4th of my screen for both mobile users and my computer being a potato. 👀
(Also helps with file size)
About that I don't care about cookies extension you can also get in some ad blockers and you also get to block ads so two birds one stone.Though maybe not everyone uses ad blockers so I guess it would be preferable for some to have a dedicated extension.
I use Monknow as speed dial next tab. SVG export will allow me to get the right icon for those buttons.
extensity is awesome!!
It's really useful
Thanks ,Kid
I've been loving the undetectable ai cuz it released a chrome extension thay will really help us write our essays without copy pasting them
You are most helpful
For a moment i thought the Guardio sponsor ship was one of the extentions.... I realised that it wasn't only when i heard the promo kode....
Hey Thio!Could you do a video on how to fix error that says "We Couldn't update system reserved partition".
Babe wake up thioejoe just uploaded a new video
Hey Thio
First of all love from India
Actually I need a software than can show the process tree in windows
Means a software than can show which software triggers the popup or which software is requesting any access to system files or open cmd.
Yesterday I ran a software and than software didn't opened on time because my PC is very very slow and after that I opened another software
And then a command window opened and shows some technical points and asked to enter y to continue.
Now I completely confused and pressed y
I don't know actually which program triggered that and what was the consequence of that command prompt
So I want a minimal and less RAM consuming software that can display the whole process line-up
Thanks for the cookie blocker mate.
I don't care about cookies is a lifesaver, thx Joe!
all work great on edge aswell
thank you. these are great
For « I don’t care about cookies », there is also « ghostery » that is very good
I should have had SuperCopy installed when I was in middle school, I had a copy-protected Google Doc from my teacher
Woohoo! Watching now
Hello, Thanks for sharing; is there any addon that allows chrome to pop up a windows when multi tabs are opened to warn before closing?
I found a extension that replaces Unpaywall, but is actually better and works on more articles!
It's called Sci Hub Injector.
Hey Joe, is there any extension or tool to know what fonts a website uses?
Fontface Ninja will show you the fonts / typefaces a website is using.
Microsoft Edge has a built in supercopy feature, which can be accessed on any website and it's way more useful. For example, you can highlight text on Wattpad and right click, but for some reason you can't copy the text. Using Microsoft Edge, a simple Ctrl + Shift + X allows you to copy any text, and Ctrl + Shift + C allows you to take screenshots easily.
Personally, I think Edge> Chrome, but we're all free to have our opinions.
Didn't know this
I prefer browsers that aren’t made by advertising companies
Great video!
“Also available for Firefox” 😎
I'll be using these on Opera
i knew about most of these Extensions but i was so lazy to share them 🤣
Other than adblock plus, I always tell my clients to stay away from extensions. Too many of them are malicious and at the very least, they track you. The most common malware I run in to, now adays, are browser hijacks, mostly from extensions.
Any examples?
First of all, use Ublock origin insted of ABP.
@@Bourn77 based
Pretty sure #1 extension you need is Adblocker and #2 Popup blocker ^_^
I'm looking for an extension that allows me to type on a website. I have found ones that allow you to use your mouse or trackpad but, not your keyboard.
i dont care about cookies was apparently sold to avast according to multiple user reviews on the chrome webstore for it
The developer(s) of don't care about Cookies had this announcement on their page. In response to this in the comment section, many users said they were gonna stop using it because of *obvious* reasons.
Enhancer for UA-cam is my No. 1
Buen material. Gracias!!
