Extension inventory. General discussion.

Post by Passenger »

Here's mine.

Adblock Plus
https://chrome.google.com/webstore/deta ... cddilifddb

NoScript
https://chrome.google.com/webstore/deta ... cbfeoakpjm

I consider these two absolutely essential for security.
The Slimjet built in ad blocker (which I disabled) is good enough, but I'm used to Ad Block Plus from before and like the ease of customizing.

YouTube NonStop
https://chrome.google.com/webstore/deta ... mpbkbnocid

Stops the recent new YouTube feechur of stopping the music to ask if you're still there.

YouTube No Buffer
https://chrome.google.com/webstore/deta ... dfnejkpegd

Make YouTube behave. No autoplay except in playlists. Or within playlist if you like.
Not entirely satisfactory, but seems the least worst of several similar I tried.

Reader View
https://chrome.google.com/webstore/deta ... maellmclnh

Remove clutter for readability. Only use it occasionally.
One of many similar extensions. I like this one because its presence in unobtrusive when you're not using it.

Favicon Changer
https://chrome.google.com/webstore/deta ... jfjpflpeoo

Functionally similar but different in kind to something I used with Firefox.
Don't really need it. Just playing with it.

Don't add custom search engines
https://chrome.google.com/webstore/deta ... bmkocdhacc

What the title says. Installed but disabled.

Recommend moving from adblock plus to ublock origin. Ublock Origin is the fastest, most efficient adblock period. Plus its just primarily 1 developer without the political issues with Adblock whitelisting that's shown up in the news.

I see it uses the same format custom filters.

I may give it a whirl.

Replaced YouTube No Buffer with YouStopper
https://chrome.google.com/webstore/deta ... ankdjljepb

Really not as all around adaptable, but it does just the bit I want with less overhead.

Got rid of Reader View and Don't add custom search engines.

Added Remove YouTube Autoplay
https://chrome.google.com/webstore/deta ... najhdnokhj

Really totally suppresses that feature, not just set it to off.

I really like the Favicon Changer, but it's a resource hog. Still on probation. :mrgreen:

Still fiddling around with Ublock Origin. Haven't decided yet.

Anybody else want to give a complete inventory? Thanks.

No longer needed due to fixes in Ad Block Plus.

Finally zapped Favicon Changer.

I like the idea, but too much overhead by my standards.

It looks like this new Chrome setting ...

slimjet://settings/content/idleDetection

... eliminates the need for YouTube NonStop.

Disabled for now, will remove when I am certain.
