ublock origin with the annoyance list activated.
dark reader. It’s not perfect but I get most sites in a usable dark mode.
That’s mostly it.
Same, all you really need. Maybe also password manager extensions for the added phishing protection
Yeah, I didn't include my Enpass extension, as it's more like a plug-in.
I also excluded TamperMonkey because I solely use it to sell my Steam cards and become filthy rich. Already 34 cents into my first million.
And last but not least: an extension that auto-upvotes YT videos from my subscribed channels because I'm too lazy to do it manually and YT can't be bothered to assign a key to it.
Sponsorblock for YouTube.
Javascript disabler to get around many paywalls.
In my testing, dark reader made sites load much slower. Anyone else notice this?
Dark Reader is entirely client side, so it shouldn't affect load times.
Render times may increase significantly though depending on cpu((/gpu?).
Yes, I suppose if their computer is a decade or two old, it might have an impact on their render times.
it can make my google drive stuff take a couple extra seconds to realize whats happening
Nope, still fast on my machines
This is my experience as well. Noticable slowdown after installing it. But IMO, it's still worth it.
In my experience enabling some of the annoyance lists broke several websites and it took a while to realise why. I do use the cookie consent list but no longer use any annoyance lists.
