uBlock Origin

Simple Translate, if you poke at sites and things in languages other than English

also Purple Adblocl/Better Twitch Adblock/other such Twitch adblockers

they regularly figure out how to get around uBlock and sometimes even the Twitch specific adblockers break so you want options

Clean URLs too! it automatically removes tracking information from like Twitter links and such

Any useful RP specific add-ons?

image downloader if you want to grab an entire set of 100 icons at once and not one at a time

I use Adblock Ultimate, View Image, Tampermonkey, Font Ninja, Return Youtube Dislike, Block Youtube Shorts, Stylus, Photobucket Hotlink Fix, New Xkit, and Gert Favicon

I really like Grammarly for us dwrp-ers it's a grammar and spell checker to check stuff you might miss

the free one works well, you can pay for an account for word changes or tone fixes

Dark Reader if you get eyestrain easily or want to read/rp at night without keeping yourself awake longer due to blue light.

Grammarly also analyzes the tone of your text, which I think is really neat.

LJ Juggler and Dreamwidth Tools

god i wish dreamwidth tools was on firefox.

i compiled some rp-specific addons in an entry here

Sessionbox (as an alternative to lj juggler), grammarly, dwtools are amazingly helpful

click all checkboxes, word counter plus, form history control, fakespot

nixthat: You glorious being!

I've been very pleased with OneTab, simply so that my fic tabs don't take over my cpu. I also have a new one called 'Firefox Multi-account containers' that I've been playing with which allows you to open different journals in different tabs of the same window.

earthkingdom: You can have it for firefox if you manually install it. nixthat has a link here.

I was just gonna say

^

oh yeah Multi Account Containers is a godsend for RP

Multi container is definitely a great addon especially if you are like me and keep a million tabs open for different accounts at a time

I don't use it often, but boy is it a lifesaver when I do

Also useful for non rp purposes

FHC I mean

bootknife thank you so much! you're amazing.

tumblr post with some useful ones

some more

seconding ublock origin and tampermonkey. Typio seems to be having some... problems lately, but it's very good when it works

I use multi account containers in conjunction with simple tabs groups - set it up to save your tabs, you can have an entire tab group set to one account, other tab group to a different account, etc

RP Specific though, LJ Juggler is a must have

LJ Juggler & Typio for sure! Also there's a plurk add-on to block seeing stuff with specific phrases, I forget what it is now... So you don't have to unfriend people but you don't have to see, like, spoilers or something

^plurk savior

Shinigami Eyes for highlighting terfs, SponsorBlock for Youtube to skip those ads in the middle of YT, GIFsonTumblr

Beeline Reader makes text easier to follow for dyslexic people, by fading the text color from blue to black and back

Yeah typio is glitchy rn.

lj juggler, ublock, downthemall

for firefox

plurk savior is a godsend

Firefox. uBlock Origin is practically a necessity. Dwtools is a handy time saver. Xkit is real neat for tumblr's stuff. I used to use LJ Juggler, but it stopped working and I never got the hashes to work, so now I just save passwords to the browser. MEGA for mega downloads. Tampermonkey with the LJ New Comment Indicator saves time when lurking huge posts.

as Typio and a lot of other form recovery add-ons don't work I've been using Formalizr

Mindful Break, YouTube Nonstop, Promoted Pin Hider (Pinterest)

Which isn't as nice as Typio, but it worksFormalizr

(And seems to be the ONLY form recovery add-on that's working at the moment)

Mindful Break is great for if needing help remembering to get water, take a breather, eat, take meds... etc

For Chrome
MultiLogin - alt to Session Box and Firefox's Multi-account container
Gmail Tabs - Uses your filters in Gmail to make tabs in your inbox like so!

Boomerang/Inbox Pause - Literally gives you a pause button on incoming emails in Gmail like so!

those are the main ones that I use, that haven't already been mentioned

argh for some reason I have trouble getting LJ login and its alternatives (session box, etc.) working for me. I use Brave, but it's based on the Chromium engine

anyway Typio, uBlock, Bitwarden (for password storage)

RecipeFilter for bypassing the rambling story before the damn recipe

Firefox containers, lets you save/open up multiple tabs from the same website with different accounts logged on.

carbonate: Platinum: when I had issues with LJ Juggler, turns out the issue was me using a character in my password that the extension didn't accept

yubsie: THANK YOU

Firefox Multi-Account Containers – Get this Extensio...

hmmm I don't think that's the problem with me but I'll look into it

Hm. I'll poke at it. Thanks, though.

for chrome: group your tabs (groups tabs with the same url into a single bookmarked page) and merge all windows (brings all of your tabs into the same window)

tab sorter (arranges tabs by url in alphabetical order) and bulk image downloader (can download images per tab, window, or directional from which tab you're on (left of tab or right of tab)) are useful too

Multi Account Containers AND Simple Tab Groups

Simple Tab Groups lets me have pseudo windows with like Game Name

All the tabs for threads for that game

And Multi Account Containers lets me subdivide the window into different characters

+1 multi-account containers, total game-changer

Started using MAC for work actually where I've got to be logged into the company environments as different test users

Immediately loved it for RP

I have a STG for WoW and Kingdom Hearts FAQ stuff too >.>

(I think LJ Juggler is gonna work better for some people but I love leaving threads open and not having to refresh them all the time like I did when I switched accounts.)

Adblock, especially since it works on youtube.

Is there any lazarus-equivalent for FF?

I used to use grammerly but the little clickable icon for it was hell in certain text fields and I just uninstalled it.

I've been enjoying the simple convenience of text blaze for chrome / similar text expnander on firefox. mostly for use in rp but not only

Though grammarly's spellcheck was also kinda dumb in that even after I told it "no, that word's fine" it would then continue to freak out when there was even the slightest change to it (like if I added an S to make it plural).

it also liked to highlight words out of alignment with where they actually were.

So, for example, I'd get a red line saying something's wrong, only to find out it's actually for a word like three lines up on the page and further to the left.

I just use uBlock origin and I've never seen a single ad on twitch

What are good LJJuggler replacements for Firefox? Cause my juggler keeps fricking up and constantly logging me out of accounts

Which is annoying as hell when trying to rp stuff

SaintCynicism: In my experience that's usually due to resizing the text box, though I'm not sure if it was happening at other times for you.

Firefox's native password saving does a pretty good job. You've still got to log out and hit the log in buttons manually, but it gives you a dropdown list of existing accounts and passwords that you can select.

paracosm: It'd make sense, but unfortunately there's no real way for me to check what's going on. Or if there is, I'm most likely not tech-savvy enough to make sense of it even if I tried.

ArtWildentanzen: there are a couple, I spent extra time looking for something I could whitelist to only remember input on dreamwidth instead of having to blacklist sites so I went with the less friendly lookingForm History Control – Get this Extension for 🦊 Fire...

But it's some sort of funny/sad that Lazarus is a Chrome add on now bc it started life as a Firefox add on

I think there's some revival projects but you'd need to manually install them

Didn't Lazarus die like five years ago?

yeah I thought it did- it's why I moved to Typio on chrome

yeah me too so all this talk of it in here is comically fitting for it's name but confusing

I too thought it was long gone but I found some GitHub repos

oohh

for people who rely on fandom wiki as a rp resource, breezewiki and either its associated addon or some kind of browser redirector (i use a tampermonkey script from this tutorial

it basically shows you a stripped-down quickly-loading version of the wiki page that isn't bloated with ads and scripts

breezewiki is also usable by just replacing 'fandom' with 'breezewiki' in the URL. It's very good. Has some issues with formatting images, tho

Enhancer For Youtube gives a whole bunch of options and utility to YouTube such as more sound boosting (for those super quiet videos), miniplayer for the doomscrollers who want to read comments, and most importantly (to me) play a playlist backwards, for those playlists where the beginning is at the end of the playlist

On the opposite end of the enhancer for youtube: One of uBlock's things is that it can block the comments section of YouTube. You have to specifically tell it to do so, but it'll do it.

Clear Cache, Copy PlainText, Custom Scrollbars, Tree Style Tab, and YouTube Video Loop are all Firefox ones I haven't seen mentioned yet that I use.

Go To Playing Tab will give you a button on your task bar that will automatically focus the tab or window that is currently playing sound

omg the Shinigami Eyes extension looks amazin

i believe shinigami eyes isn't as useful for individual blogs and such because anyone can report a blog and there doesn't seem to be filtering

so people will report each other over the smallest disagreements

oh that's a bummer. but for the big collective places like reddit or Twitter I guess it's good

I don't believe shinigami eyes uses user submission as its criteria, at least when I installed it things still needed human approval

My impression of Shinigami Eyes as a longtime user is that some things are marked by the community - as in, you'll see them automatically marked red for significant anti-trans content - but you, personally, can also mark things as anti-trans and then they'll be red to you until/unless you clear it

I don't know to what degree, if any, self-marking a link as anti-trans affects the things Shinigami Eyes marks on its own initiative as anti-trans; it's probably more likely to be a handy personal reference for you

Though I could potentially see if, say, a TON of people marked a link as anti-trans, that might be grounds for investigation and then an official verdict from the devs?

I don't actually know how it works behind the scenes, though, so that's purely me theorizing

From the Shinigami Eyes website:

Is there a mechanism in place to prevent malicious/fake reports?

Yes. While your overrides are immediately visible to you, changes are included in the publicly visible dataset only if they pass some trustworthiness criteria (including human validation).

So it does seem that your local markings are submitted to the public dataset, but there is some level of validation before being published. That said, I don't know how effective that validation is against brigading and the like and I've definitely heard of it being weaponized in online disputes.

I have yet to have it mislead me, it helps give important context that I usually look into to verify

Yeah, it might in rare cases be misused in targeted campaigns, but I almost never find it to be inaccurate in my own experience

Someone I know was caught in the crossfire of an abuse of its system as described above, so I guess if I used it I'd treat it with a big grain of salt e.g. wikipedia, and in conjunction with other things too.
