What are some Safari extensions you yourself use and/or recommend?

I’ve been using Safari and it only ever since I switched back when the iPhone X came out and never looked back.

I got annoyed by advertisements pretty early and was looking for an adblocker that did not screw up the whole internet.

I’m using AdGuard ever since. It’s good, still blocks YouTube ads, but sadly does not let me read news since a lot of them want me to deactivate it, and news websites over here are quite annoyingly full of ads.

Second I use is Sink It. It makes the internet Reddit website behave a little bit okay-ish. Combined with ad-blocker it’s quite usable.

Third is Hush. A little open source app that kills cookies the way the internet keeps on working.

And the final one I use is honey. It hasn’t saved me a single penny yet, but maybe it might one day perhaps eventually.

I’m happy to read about what extensions you use!

    Honey’s whole scheme is selling your data. It tracks everything. I don’t use it.

    I use Baking Soda and Vinegar and SponsorBlock and Wipr.

    The first two basically fix video players on every site: basic HTML player instead of the bloatware most employ.

    SponsorBlock for YouTube to cut down on sponsored segments that YouTubers may play in the middle of a video.

    Wipr for my ad blocker. It’s been incredibly solid since I first bought it. Big fan.

        Vinegar blocks the ads, sponsor block like „skips“ the sponsored section within the video, like when someone talks about Raid: Shadow Legends.

            Everyone talks about it lol

            I once read somewhere that they pay you some 5 figures for that, despite how bad the game is (I played it on day 1 back in the days, sucked after 6 hrs) I can understand why one would accept the sponsorship.

              Huh, I kinda thought it was maybe more targeted towards warhammer-tangent content because I see it on a lot of the mini painting/kit bashing/model/terrain building channels I watch and basically nowhere else.

                Wait people actually paint them??

                I thought you were supposed to build them and then forget them on a shelf where every time you look over you’re reminded that it’s still unfinished

                  Hah apparently they do. I don’t actually do warhammer models myself. I like scratch building and painting weird robot models out of bits of trash and plastic. So the warhammer painting and kitbashing YT channels out there have a lot of relevant content for me.

                That’s because it became such a meme that youtubers started distancing themselves from it.
