#212Okay one I haven't seen mentioned that I have been using a lot: Chrome Currency Converter, you can have it configured that when you press a shortcut all currencies on a page are converted to your local one. For me, when I press Alt-c the whole page changes from $ to my currency https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/chrome-currency-co...
I wish something like this existed but with time zones. For example, any time a website mentions "Tuesday 10AM PST", I want to be able to hover over it to reveal the time/date in my own timezone. Have looked but couldn't really find anything.
That's a great idea! I never knew i wanted this until now!
Edit: Just found this: https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/time-zone-converte... seems to work great not hover but right click and select

#213Sponsorblock for Youtube: users mark segments of videos that have sponsored content, and the extension skips over them. It also skips past introductions and interaction reminders.
Also "Youtube Video Skip Ad Trigger" is handy one for automatically pressing the "skip ad" button - so you don't have to!
If you use uBlock Origin, you shouldn't need it because prevents the ad from playing at all.

#214My de-facto set of extensions: - uBlock Origin - Cookie AutoDelete - "I Don't Care About Cookies" (It auto-OKs cookie consent banners) - Archive.org's Wayback Machine (A must have in this era of link rot) Optional: - Tablist (easily lets me copy out all the URLs of open tabs for 'later') - User Agent Switcher (Needed less these days, but useful for exploring the DOM of mobile versions of sites) Additionally, I have w…
Used to use Archive.org's own extension, but I encountered way too many false positives over time to continue using it. I'd recommend One-click Wayback instead - no automatic activation.

#220I stopped trying to whitelist sites. Now I just use cookie autodelete and container tabs. Full list: - Joplin web clipper - BitWarden - Firefox containers - Containerise (choose tab container based on domain name or url regex) - Cookie autodelete (in case I ever accidentally log into something in the wrong container, this cleans it up) I also modify the search bar so it only suggests locations from my bookmarks, and…
> Honestly, who uses bookmarks any more? They just turn into a bloated to-do list, hundreds of links you'll forget about until one day you try them and the domain no longer exists Exactly! I use tabs for that very thing. I have over four hundred tabs open in multiple windows, and counting! (Please send help.)
Ha, my co-workers choke every time I share my screen and they see my tabs. Then they learn that they’re just seeing one window out of twelve.
