floccus bookmark sync (version 5000002): Sync your bookmarks privately across browsers and devices
Project mention: Brave extension that translates a web page automatically... | /r/brave_browser | 2023-12-11
Project mention: is it possible to remove some of these button like clip or just put the save button in front? | /r/youtube | 2023-06-09I'm using this: https://github.com/code-charity/youtube
Project mention: Can anyone verify this information about privacy? | /r/onlinesecurity2023 | 2023-12-04~Using privacy plug-ins or browsers. You can block our site from setting cookies used for interest-based ads by using a browser with privacy features, like Brave, or installing browser plugins, like Privacy Badger, Ghostery or uBlock Origin, and configuring them to block third party cookies/trackers.
Project mention: Something peculiar in my 2yo's bedroom led me to a revelation about our universe | news.ycombinator.com | 2024-01-26Most of the time you can just replace twitter.com with nitter.net or nitter.it but when these instances are down or blocked you can use other instances listed here: https://github.com/zedeus/nitter/wiki/Instances
But as the other commenter said Libredirect is the way to go: https://libredirect.github.io/
Project mention: Mozilla names new CEO as it pivots to data privacy | news.ycombinator.com | 2024-02-08It is an extension for Firefox, but one created by Mozilla. It's official in that sense, but it does seem a little strange it's not included by default.

Project mention: Show HN: I made a CLI tool to create web extensions with no build configuration | news.ycombinator.com | 2024-04-30I’ve been pretty happy with web-ext, I’m curious what abstractions and configurations Extensions.js avoids comparatively. I’m assuming you’ll still need a manifest.json, and it looks like both use npm/package.json for dependencies.
https://github.com/mozilla/web-ext
I appreciate you documenting this, if it's not too much hassle, can you please create an issue here: https://github.com/ipfs/ipfs-companion/issues/new/choose also adding at what steps things didn't work for you and what would've made your experience better?
Project mention: YouTube started slowing video buffer with adblock enabled | news.ycombinator.com | 2024-01-13
A password manager can easily implement passkeys just like it implements passwords.
Though last I checked no browser had created an API for extensions to implement the passkey API. KeepassXC's implementation for example has to inject JS into every page to override `window.navigator.credentials` ( https://github.com/keepassxreboot/keepassxc-browser/pull/178... ). It works but is brittle, so a proper way through extension API would be nice.
I use the Read Aloud Firefox extension to read newspaper articles and the wandering inn stories. Works well for me. In the configuration there are free and premium voices. I enable Google Translate voice and increase the speed a bit.
Main repo (website there too, or search on Firefox extensions): https://github.com/ken107/read-aloud
If you are on Firefox, you can install the UserAgent-Switcher and set it to Chrome. The UI might be a bit much if not familiar yet, so let me explain it briefly. Click the app and then select from the top drop down menus Chrome and Windows. Then pick one of the Chrome versions listed numerically, e.g. Chrome 118.0.0.0. Next at the bottom right of the add-on menu, click Apply (container) and then refresh the tab. Here's a link: https://github.com/ray-lothian/UserAgent-Switcher/

Scratch Addons has a way to customize it, and if you want 2.0 colors on 3.0 pages, you can use the hex codes in these files: https://github.com/ScratchAddons/ScratchAddons/pull/6357/files
Project mention: Show HN: A browser extension to instantly switch engines and customize workflow | news.ycombinator.com | 2024-01-17I enjoy collecting various search engines, but some of them lack support for GET/POST searches and switching between different search engines can be a hassle. So, I developed this browser extension that enables automated searching on websites that don't support GET/POST through simulated input and clicks. It also offers one-click switching between search engines. Additionally, it highlights the searched keywords on the search results page. Lastly, it allows cross-domain data fetching and displays the information in a pop-up layer within the current page.
