Awesome Browser Addons You Aren't Using

According to what I know, the Captcha project and Capcha solving teams are together developed by Google, so they essentially make technology to prevent bots and then order the other people to reverse engineer it.

[@ichigonixsun]

And in the end, humans won't be able to solve Captchas at all, but the bots will.

[@wontcreep]

one if not my favorite addon for firefox is "Terms of Service; Didn’t Read" you get a recap of what's in the TOS of sites, submitted and maintained by the community it's AMAZING really i would have put it in the video

oi thanks its also on opera GX

[@n124ajdx]

I don't people are interested in anything related to TOS. reading TOS is useless anyway since you are going to accept the TOS no matter what, because otherwise you want be able to use anything on your computer/phone

[@wontcreep]

​@@n124ajdx TOS lets you know what the company does, if they wrote they can do X, it's because they do it. What you're implying is that since you're going to use something you don't need to know what they do with your data behind the scenes, basically you prefer not knowing. except that for some people like me, when a service has bad TOS we don't use them, or start using something else. do you use discord? do you really think there's nothing of that quality out there?

[@darebrained]

I actually talked to a youtuber about sponsorblock and at least in their case it doesn't affect their income, as the companies at this point only look at the views, not at the watch time/specific watchtime within the sponsor-ad's timeframe. This is in contrast to general adblocking which actually means that the youtuber doesn't get any money from the ad the adblock removed.

[@Overqualification]

Thought this was common sense

[@John-Smlth]

@@Overqualification Common sense actually tells me that it decreases their incoeme. Sure for individual videos there's no difference, but the market is a feedback loop, and over time advertisers will pay slightly less if they notice less users use affiliate links, or even in general if they see other companies having slightly less of an effect with their advertising. This is a very data driven field, so even small changes will have small effects. Use these services if you want to, but don't think that it doesn't decrease from the money KZbinrs make.

[@Overqualification]

@@John-Smlth You would be right if they had access to replayed areas 11 months ago when the comment was posted, and even now that they do, they still pay based on views and sub count.

[@John-Smlth]

@@Overqualification The payment to an individual creator may be based on views and sub count, but the market cost for 1 view will vary based on how many people actually click through on ads. Imagine a hypothetical world where 50% of users suddenly started using this software. Existing contracts would stay the same, but as advertisers see their click through rate fall, future ad deals made will have a lower pay per view associated with them. This effect is much smaller with the usage of this software being small, but these ad companies work on precise enough data that even these real world small changes will likely have an impact. This is fairly simple supply and demand reasoning.

[@tbuk8350]

Also, plenty of sponsors have a set price range beforehand based on their average views. Most of the time, by the time you're watching the video, they'll already have been paid.

[@BeamDeam]

I love that the KZbin Vanced app has the SponsorBlock api integrated, so I don't have ads/sponsors on mobile or pc.

The irony: You install a program to solve Captcha (Turing tests) because computers are better at solving Turing tests than humans. I guess now it is a reverse Turing test. I needed such a addon for a long time since i often fail this things and wasted hours.

[@zvezdan956]

@Я i always felt this is the case ever since captcha became a thing

[@senselessnothing]

captcha is a great example of useless things that have been developed for no reason but to waste people's time. If you want to test whether someone's a human there are much better ways.

[@senselessnothing]

@Я The problem is that bots are quite trivial to catch, be it because they don't use the JS that the server offers, the odd ips, the frequent attempts etc. Traditional methods solved these issues very well. I think it's just another case of solutions looking for problems. They had a fancy thing they could deploy, so they did.

[@senselessnothing]

@Я google AI = a solution problem to solve = no problem so let's invent captchas

[@EarthWalkerOne]

@@senselessnothing captchas were invented to get people to supervise machine learning. They were never intended to check for bots. They're basically a mechanical turk paywall.

[@HyphenSam]

ClearURLs breaks some sites in my experience. It doesn't have an option to disable per site, so I just uninstalled it. Also, Twitter auto-converts links to their link shortener service, so character limits don't matter for URLs. Edit: Ironically, the end part of the video is now an "interaction reminder" segment in SponsorBlock lol

[@Eric.-.]

i have been using ClearURLs for months and it never broke anything lol

[@lucywucyyy]

i think dark reader is an essential, it dark modes all sites and it looks good on 9/10, for the ones where it looks weird you can set it to always be off on that site with one button.

[@manchester250]

Thank you man

[@johnnycochicken]

yes

[@n124ajdx]

I tried like a lot of dark mode extensions and they all work just for the popular websites, but make niche websites look bad. So instead it's better to just use the built in dark mode of the websites.

[@maiyannah]

A useful plugin would be disabling the ability of Javascript to manipulate the clipboard. One thing I've caught a lot of sites snooping on lately is reading the contents of the clipboard, and while I can't say I've proven the concept, I'm sure this is one way they're attaching clearnet identities to TOR identities.

[@LilacMonarch]

I think ScriptSafe allows you to block clipboard access, among other things

[@dannyjelll9067]

Have been using sponsor block for a while, It saved 4 hours of my life since then. I myself saved 13hours of other users time by being early on LTT videos myself. It's awesome

[@slimesushi]

Thank you

[@Bonez0r]

For anyone who usually has a lot of open tabs, I recommend _Tree Style Tab._ I can't live without it anymore. Instead of having the browser tabs at the top next to each other, this addon places them vertically on the left or right side of the screen. Not only does that give you some more vertical space to display the website you're on (at the cost of some horizontal space, but with widescreen monitors that's not a problem), but you can also see a lot more tabs simultaneously, and it's easy to scroll through them. The name of the addon comes from the fact that a link opened from a parent tab opens into a child tab that's shifted a little to the right, so if you have a lot of tabs open and you open links into new tabs, it has a tree structure. The companion addon from the same author is Multiple Tab Handler. It lets you drag and drop multiple tabs or entire trees, close them, move them to a new window, etc. It's adds some convenience features but it's not required.

[@Okami4267]

Ty for telling me about this. Just started using it and I love it already. I am bad about opening a bunch of tabs so this makes it easier for me

[@ThylineTheGay]

Sponsorblock is amazing, i have saved over 11 hours with it and ive seen no weird stuff like segments put where they shouldn't be and pretty much ALL videos are covered.

[@sfisher923]

I only had one instance of something being skipped but shouldn't had but it has since been fixed for the most part It was in MOTI's Battle Against a True Hero where the song the lead in for that moment had a song playing that got completely skip if you had "Non-Music in Music Video" enabled considering I listen to music a lot that's not bad

I'd recommend Reverse Image Search by Andreas Bielawski, it's fully customizable and you can just right-click and image and use the context menu so it doesn't clutter my toolbar with another icon. I really wish there was an add-on that would automatically reject any cookies or at least hide those annoying cookies pop-ups.

[@monikafiori]

A bit late but "I don't care about cookies" hides all cookie pop-ups and has failed me only once through multiple months of usage.

4:54 clearURL unfortunately doesn't actually really help your privacy at all. I do think it's good for keeping your urls short, but that "tracking data" is usually saved in something like local storage, cookies, or with the actual request itself. Url arguments are just a really convenient way of quickly accessing and sending data between pages, but it doesn't stop or really do much of anything to protect your privacy. Just makes links shorter. This extension also breaks many webpages and social media sites automatically shorten urls especially by using proxy urls that they use to track data for analytical uses.
