At this point I really just recommend any fork of Firefox (such as Zen). Mozilla has seen its fair share of controversy, but nowhere near the amount Google has, and it's worth using a Firefox based browser in order to fight the chrome monopoly.</p><p>Other great Firefox forks to look at are <a href="https://librewolf.net/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer">librewolf</a> and <a href="https://www.waterfox.net/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer">waterfox</a>, which are privacy centric and lightweight and run faster than stock firefox.</p><h2 id="extensions" tabindex="-1">Extensions <a class="header-anchor" href="#extensions" aria-label="Permalink to "Extensions""></a></h2><p>A classic recommendation you've probably already heard, <a href="https://ublockorigin.com/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer">uBlock Origin</a> is a requirement for browsing the internet. Ads spy on you and significantly degrade your browsing experience, and this extension fixes that.

It'll also replace thumbnails with random frames from the video itself. Note this extension asks for a $1 donation or to request free access, which can take a few hours (but you can "trial" the extension in the meantime).</p><h2 id="search" tabindex="-1">Search <a class="header-anchor" href="#search" aria-label="Permalink to "Search""></a></h2><p>With the advent of AI generated content, it has become much more difficult to search the web.

The list works with uBlock Origin, but they recommend using <a href="https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/ublacklist/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer">uBlacklist</a>, an extension specifically for blocking certain Google search results.</p><p>If you're willing to pay, <a href="https://kagi.com/welcome" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer">Kagi</a> is a premium search engine you may be interested in.
