It's OK to remove it, unless you also want other sites to detect your usage.

More fiddling with YouTube extensions. I'll report back when I'm satisfied.

Fixing YouTube to my desires.

YouTube Autoplay Disabler <== Back to the previous one, but they have updated it.

YouTube NonStop <== still needed after all (more arms race)

YouTube No Buffer <== Loved it but no longer works.

Replaced by:
YouStopper for YouTube (only pauses video before running it and not all the fancy stuff.
https://chrome.google.com/webstore/deta ... pb/related


Controls for Youtube <== You know that 'back 10 seconds' button you see on some other video sites? Like that plus.

Slimjet totally deleted, then reinstalled clean.

Extensions: Just the YouTube stuff.

I'm always fiddling with YouTube stuff, but here is my updated extension inventory for all else.

Don't add custom search engines

History AutoDelete

In Brave there are equivalent built in options in settings.


I have installed this in Brave:

DoNotDiscard

This functionality is not built into Slimjet, nor is it needed, but in Brave it is one piece of a rather kludgey workaround to give me something equivalent to this:

Everything is a trade off. :geek:

Got rid of History AutoDelete.
This can be done natively in Slimjet, but in a different manner from Brave.

I've fiddled some more, now time for an update.

YouTube (subject to change due to YouTube arms race)

AutoplayStopper
Controls for Youtube
Remove YouTube Autoplay
YouTube NonStop

All discussed before, see above.

Other

Don't add custom search engines -- Had it before, got rid of it, decided I like it after all.
https://chrome.google.com/webstore/deta ... bmkocdhacc

Tracking Token Stripper -- Added after a discussion in this forum. All my Chrome based browsers have this now.
https://chrome.google.com/webstore/deta ... jgockkplob

I will also report that at the present time Slimjet native ad blocking is sufficient with a few custom filters added.

For Youtube:

Code: Select all

||i.ytimg.com/an_webp
www.youtube.com##ytd-compact-promoted-video-*
www.youtube.com###masthead-ad
The first one prevents thumbnail animation, the other two counter YouTube's latest new ways of showing ads.

I discovered this Extension and thought others might want to try it.
It's great for web navigation with the keyboard.
