No matter what password manager you use, make sure to periodically export your passwords to a local file (encrypted, of course). This will allow you to access your passwords in an emergency and immediately migrate to a new manager if needed.
Imagus is one of my most favorite extensions of all time. It can enlarge any image or play any video simply by hovering over it and pressing a keybind and it also works on links as well.
Simple tab groups on Firefox is one of the most amazing extensions ever made. It organizes my tabs so well, that one single extension is the reason I use Firefox.
@@Miguel_Noether because I don't like to have an algorithm push me down desired rabbit hole, mate. I only really come here for my subscriptions and to search for stuff. However, I *do* use the algorithm occasionally, so to ensure it's fully doing what I tell it to, I split my account into multiple "channels" ... I have: 1. a channel for this stuff, gaming and, tech 2. a channel for webdev and m365 engineering 3. a channel for K-Pop 4. a channel for comedy 5. a channel for trailers (official only) 6. a channel for my purchased content 7. a channel for DIY and green tech This way, should I ever want to test TH-cam like a visual radio station, the playlists (algorithmic suggestions) will always be to the tastes I have fed to that channel.
I run a number of extensions, but not as many as yourself, however one I've come to rely upon is Redirector in Firefox. It's a regex based URL manipulation tool. Say Amazon loads an item page with a ton of query and fragment information, but I just want it to be the id link, and on smile. Well I use this to automatically ensure that my URLs are smile links directly to the item. Samesame with reddit, but I make it to to old Reddit, and when images are loaded it goes to the largest size.
I also use that and is a godsend. I began using it to fix Twitter links that were being sent broken to E-mail (because of an error from the e-mail client and you have to modify each link manually to make it functional), and with that extension I was able to use those links with no problems with the bonus of removing trackers. It's also useful for Shorts here on TH-cam, because I personally hate how you can't use the seekbar on shorts as opposed to normal videos but if you exchange the "shorts/" part of the link with "watch?v=" then you can play the Short as a normal video.
Flameshot(2:56) is in the Arch community repo but still does'nt work properly on Wayland. Same thing with Shutter, wich is another very handy screenshot edit tool, but it comes with too much dependencies and it always creates issues.
My two favorites are TubeShift (checks to see if a YT video is available on Odysee, BitChute or Rumble) and Video Speed Controller (enables watching videos at more than 2x speed). If you have an older CPU that struggles to play YT videos, enhanced-h264ify forces all videos to play at 30fps in h264.

I've been using Cookie AutoDelete by Kenny Do for several years now. It is a cookie manager, not just a cleaner. It allows me to whitelist websites where I want to keep cookies, so I can stay logged into email, web forums, and shopping sites. I can also whitelist banks, so they remember the "trust this browser" setting so I can just log in without needing to verify email and phone. For all other sites, you can set it to clear those cookies on shutdown or on a schedule. I added a list of news sites with pay walls that only allow me to view a few articles, to clear those cookies every hour.
Hi Chris, thank you for your helpful videos. I find very confusing and difficult the drivers updating process, expecially with hp: would you be able to help with that? Thank you again.
Hi from Brazil Chris. Grate videos! I use for many years Bitdefender Total defender including its packaged password manager. Listening to your comments on password manager, I am questioning my decision to use it. Could please give me some advice whether I continue using Bitdefender solution or change to other? Thanks
Well you might not use Bitdefender forever and it might not let you export all the passwords so you can import them in a new password manager. He stated this in the video. He recommended a specialized password manager. I am using the free version of LastPass. The reputation (safety) of the service should be considered before you choose it as all your passwords will be in it.
Hi Chris! Thanks for all your help with windows! I've learned alot! On your "Making the Best Windows ISO" video i went ahead and followed your directions and it worked great. NTLite is great software! Me and my brother are having an issue getting the Xbox App to open however, it will just close on after you click on it. I'm guessing the custom ISO must've deleted something that app is dependent on. Since its a "Gaming OS" i was a little sad to see this had not been functioning properly. Are there any solutions? All other app packages seem to be working, and i have searched every corner of the internet for a solution. Commented here so you'd be likely to see. Thanks so much, and best wishes!
I have faced the same problem the xbox app have some dependencies on the Microsoft store it wont run without it also it requires the gaming settings which will get removed while creating a custom iso. I asked him the same question but never got an answer so I usually reset my pc after installing a custom iso which brings some of the dependencies back and then install xbox to play games
@@sutripanchaudhuri2246 Thanks for your reply man! I figured that was the issue, i just hate all the shortcuts to microsoft account sign-ins and such. Logging into an xbox game then having your MS acc tied to the PC forever is beyond frustrating. I think i can live without xbox fortunately.
Ahoy, I use Chrome/Chromium in Windows and Linux on Celerons and ARM64. Essential for video playback on slower CPUs in h264ify extension. On most ARM64 SOCs is setting it to 30fps only. I also use uBlock Origin and AdBlock (block ads), "stop autoplay for youtube" (allows the page to fully load before video playback),, and Click&Clean and DuckDuckGo Privacy Essentials. It all works well for videos and such with few ads. Thanks for sharing your choices. I'm off to get Midnight Lizard now. daveyb
Unhook is pretty good for youtube if you want to stop yourself from mindlessly scrolling through the recommended or trending tabs or just simply disable certain things in yt like shorts.
Idle tab suspenders like The Great Suspender (just be vary this one has an iffy forked version etc. so get the right one), there are a few now that do this, but as someone with up to 2500 tabs open at any given time, this makes it so my browser isn't bogged down memory wise at all. Privacy Badger seems pretty nice too, a fork of Adblock Plus by EFF.

Hey chris, when I use your recommended tweaks for desktop my lightshot(screenshot app) breaks and also brightness on games gets broken too any idea why this happening?
Chris, I am a firefox person. For page capture, I use awesome screenshot.. But midnight lizard is great, thanks. but in youtube it make the I like icon all black. If you hover it. I like appears. when you click it you get the full wihite thums up. Extebsity looked very nice but no equivalent in mozilla land. Thank again.
OMG Midnight Lizard is something I was looking for without even knowing it ! I've been tweaking Stylus to make my Freshdesk night mode, it did it in one second better than I ever will be abble to :D !
I use "TH-cam enhancer" a lot, it blocks adds, so I can see videos without interruptions, it makes your experience on TH-cam so much better, you can also set a certain range of quality settings, my standard is 1440p and there are a lot of extra features.
For any Firefox users: you can right-click anywhere on the page and pick "Take Screenshot". It gives you the option of capturing the whole page, or whatever part you want. No extension needed 🙂
Hey man. Love your videos! Could you make a video that covers everything you need to do to your pc/windows to optimize it for gaming and generally for using it? Like an ultimate optimization guide. Like what you should do with a fresh Windows install (and if we should use Windows 10 or 11). Because you seem like a trustable guy and an advanced one. It would really help me, because right now I am running with some issues on my pc (which is a decent one)and not the performance i want, when gaming (i am not sure why, but i think its either because i have a corrupted install or because I am using Windows 11 or because i did some tweaks i saw on videos on yt and maybe some tweak was wrong or sth, but the tweaks were from a trustable youtuber and it wasn't like a very strange tweak, it was like the tweaks on some of your videos, so idk) and I am thinking of resetting it. So you would really help if you do so. Thank you. (Sorry for bad English)
Using the same app for both passwords and 2FA is one of the worst things you can do security-wise. 1 security breach, say bye to your accounts. NEVER use the same app for both 2FA and passwords
hi Chris i love your video's, and you explain things so well, i was wondering if you could make a few proxmox video's mainly focused around hardware passthroughs, can't find any good clear instructions of how to do this, and there's no way to follow along because everyone has different hardware, and no one is actually explaining what's going on with each command. i would really want to get virtualization going, so i could experiment with stuff, and at the moment i experiment with stuff do to the fact i need my file server to run, and i don't space for more computers, how ever, my file server is a dell T610 with 12 cores and 120GB of ecc ram, it's a beast with a lot of power that was given to me 2 years ago, and it's wasted on windows file sharing, i tried truenas scale virtualization, but it didn't work, and they only hypervisor that works well on this system is proxmox, i just don't know how to get passthroughs to work
Is there any performance tests for browser with extensions in comparison to without. I think I have already too many extensions running in parallel and on top of each other.
Whoa I'll have to checkout midnight lizard. Looks a lot better than dark reader! For anyone on a Service Desk, I will add to this list the "Open link in same tab, pop-up as tab" add-in for Chrome (most likely installed at most companies). It makes life in ticketing systems 1,000 times easier instead of having a million windows open for any ticket that is open.
Just CTRL click any ticketing system link and it'll open as a new tab? I don't get the usefulness of this extension really. Never even heard of it. I definitely want to open each ticket in separate tabs in SD work.
Great Video! CTT I have a dilemma maybe you can help me with i love keeping cache clean and history and such but I am Always after a tool that helps me keep tabs on my research online something more capable than the standard bookmarks
For me, the ultimate indispensables are adblocker, and remove TH-cam suggestions. Without them, the internet is unusable. After that, I can't think of much else I need.
Using Firefox on Linux Mint with only four extensions - Brave Search, Weather, Screenshot, and uBlock Origin. My backup browser is LibreWolf. I've never used Chrome and refuse to do so. I'm trying to remove myself from the Google teat, so I don't use Google search or news, and I wish it was easier to switch from gmail to Proton, 'cause I'd do so in a heartbeat.
6:24 Yes it locks you in to a bundle but more importantly you're putting all your eggs in one basket that can be whisked away at a moment's/data breach notice! Avoid having your passwd manager also generate your TOTP tokens!
Better yet just don't use a password manager and remember them along with never saving passwords or allow sites to automatically login, why people would want an app to generate a password and then save it for them is beyond me when doing it yourself is far better idk maybe there is something different these password managers do than my brain if you know I'd be genuinely interested cheers
@@monkstandinglast Lol the sarcasm aside what's your issue? I can't discern it. I've put out a "seperation of concerns" comment for 2FA enabled services/sites where you need a passwd AND a token to successful logon/authentication by having them in separate vendors/companies...
I don't think you need a full screen capture plugin right? not in edge atleast ctrl + shift + S is browser's internal screenshot utility and if you are using windows then win + shift + s is snippet tool
Dark Reader is better than Midnight lizard. you can get true black backgrounds almost anywhere. Lizzard has gray backgrounds which typically make things worse. Lizzard has lots of setting but can't seem to get a good result.
NoScript! NoScript for Firefox is what I use! Cannot live without it! Does have learning curve but once I have it setup, it does not matter to me at all. Plus, I use "Switch Profile" extension for switching between different Firefox profiles. Very handy if I am having trouble with figuring out what domains I need to whitelist for a particular website. Plus, if a website requires Google domain, I can just switch to a different profile and just go from there. I do not want Google storing cookies in my primary profile. Got to have security and privacy when browsing online. (Just editing to test if my comment stays there...)
check privacy policy for each extension. You maight be surprised ... If its not on github where you cant review code then this extension can do almost everything :)
AdBlocker Ultimate - blocks ads, js and user-chosen html elements Ghostery - blocks tracking scripts that ad blocker misses kaspersky protection - prevents accidental malware websitie visits and malware downloads. saved me a few times! Auto tab discard - puts tabs to "sleep" if inactivate for a while, helps save ram Session buddy - save open tabs to reopen them later Volume master - raise tab volume for quiet videos Stylebot - control a site's css View Image - returns "view image" option for google image search Allow CORS - for web testing Referer Control - for web testing for downloading streamed videos: Video DownloadHelper Stream Recorder Screen Recorder

not in edge atleast ctrl + shift + S is browser's internal screenshot utility and if you are using windows then win + shift + s is snippet tool
I am running Raspbian .Could some tell me how to install extensions in the Chromium browser?
Dark Reader is better than Midnight lizard. you can get true black backgrounds almost anywhere. Lizzard has gray backgrounds which typically make things worse. Lizzard has lots of setting but can't seem to get a good result.
wish other browsers had Firefox, Multi-Account Containers extension
NoScript! NoScript for Firefox is what I use! Cannot live without it! Does have learning curve but once I have it setup, it does not matter to me at all. Plus, I use "Switch Profile" extension for switching between different Firefox profiles. Very handy if I am having trouble with figuring out what domains I need to whitelist for a particular website. Plus, if a website requires Google domain, I can just switch to a different profile and just go from there. I do not want Google storing cookies in my primary profile. Got to have security and privacy when browsing online. (Just editing to test if my comment stays there...)
Broswer Tracking? Can it be harmful to an "on the pc at work" type of scenario? Again, are browser trackers harmful in any way?
YCS - TH-cam Comment Search is pretty useful
do you know some extension for download image from a web? is anoying to "right click> download" or "right click> open in a new tab> download".
There are few because they don't want to be sued for DMCA/Copyright Infringement.
can you do a vid on ftp
Thanks
You need to add Extensity to your list on the web page.
check privacy policy for each extension. You maight be surprised ... If its not on github where you cant review code then this extension can do almost everything :)
uBlock origins!!! Big miss lol
Edit: OH AND Multi-Account Containers
Missing *uBlock Origin* and *Video speed Controller* that works almost anywhere with single-click hover-n-hide control.
Good video.
I really like PocketTube, I can't watch youtube without it anymore
Ublock, TH-cam Playback Speed Control, google Translate, thumbnail rating for youtube, Channel blocker, screen shoter, axiom browsers automation, Xtreme Download Manager, personal block.
You are missing one important one : Privacy Badger
You missed the adblocker dude
AdBlocker Ultimate - blocks ads, js and user-chosen html elements
Ghostery - blocks tracking scripts that ad blocker misses
kaspersky protection - prevents accidental malware websitie visits and malware downloads. saved me a few times!
Auto tab discard - puts tabs to "sleep" if inactivate for a while, helps save ram
Session buddy - save open tabs to reopen them later
Volume master - raise tab volume for quiet videos
Stylebot - control a site's css
View Image - returns "view image" option for google image search
Allow CORS - for web testing
Referer Control - for web testing
for downloading streamed videos:
Video DownloadHelper
Stream Recorder
Screen Recorder
Great video, but you forgot a couple ;) personally, I would recommend Grammarly, Google translate and the all-mighty AdBlock Plus :)
