Lets you select multiple links, or check boxes and do things with them.


I use it to copy a bunch of links, and then I paste them into wget.

It would be better if it redirected to archive before it loaded the page.

This is fucking worthless because by the time you blacklist malicious scripts you're already fucked.

How does addetector work? I mean, how does it know that its paid by someone?

Firemacs or Keysnail are better alternatives.

It looks for a string of text admitting to it being a paid placement, and then displays the warning.

It relies on the site admitting to being paid for the article.

overbyte is great!

you can check out the source for addector here: https://github.com/typpo/ad-detector

apparently it parses the source code of pages on news sites and identifies information that would imply the article is sponsored. works for me.

C-can I ask you?
If I want to use stylish, how to make browser bar like this instead using oneliner?
>>
>>46668475
Learn some simple CSS. That can be done in 5 minutes.

>>46668592
I want my browser bar is dynamic bar like that gif, not static bar. I tried but it still static bar, can you give me at least one key like :hover, :link, or something like that?

Australis is harder to rice but use "inspect element" on this page: chrome://browser/content/browser.xul
It makes it easier to find the correct names of elements.

>>46668822
Cool, I was using DOM inspector before, but this seems like a more natural solution.

Plugins != scripts

blacklisting scripts doesn't work because if I have a javascript exploit I can run a genetic obfuscator on it until it runs on your computer.

whitelist is the only way
>>
>>46669777
i know plugins!=scripts, but i'm still not too concerned. along with all of the measures i mentioned before, i keep an up-to-date blacklist for yesscript. really don't feel too threatened.

with pic related at 0 because the bar was tickling my autism. It has been emphasized for this screenshot, even though it's default at 5.

Tab Trees. I don't know how widespread it is but it's literally the best thing ever. It's only annoying if you have the browser open on a portrait monitor, besides that it's amazing and really intuitive.
>>
>>46671061
>>46671397
Tree style tabs is great.

>>46670430
i used it for a long time until a year ago or so, i decided to reduce the amount of useless/redundant add-ons.

Also, passwords are stored locally.

do people not understand that it fonts look different depending how its set up for your monitor.

>>46668475
>no fade in background
looks horrible when it pops in your face like that.

>>46671624
tab mix plus has options for that.


here is an addon that everyone should have. Fixes a bug that's been in Firefox since it came out.
https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/do-this-automatically/?src=userprofile

Also SmoothWheel. Has smooth scrolling, and you can adaptively scroll at a faster speed by holding a button.

Right now, all I use is
>Blender
>Flash and Video Download (porn)
>Flashblock
>NoScript

I use an edited HOSTS file for ad-blocking. It works well enough, and doesn't mess up frames like AdBlock does. Plus Web sites can't enumerate any ad-blocking extensions on my part, so they don't gripe at me or disable features.

I try to keep my installation from getting boggled down with extensions that eat up memory. On average, Firefox stays around 100 - 200 MB, which is pretty good.

does anyone know how to make all new tabs open in a pinned tab?

>>46674838
I can you do you even better.

Multiple Tab Handler lets you select multiple tabs and do anything you want with them.
Combine this add-on with Multi Link Paste and Go.
