      It was until a recent Chrome update for Android that they took out the ability to turn the webpages dark within the hidden settings, and that was what motivated me to go back to Firefox (first time user on Android though).

      I haven’t looked back, and am actually not sure if they brought the feature back, nor that I care nowadays ;).

      I tried dark reader in Firefox on Android but felt it was slowing down website rendering too much. I switched to Dark background and Light Text which is faster.

      I still use Dark Reader on Desktop though.

        I almost dumped Firefox on Android for Chromium based one due to this reason before realising the culprit, many sites were super sluggish and FF often lost cache when I changed between apps.

        I am now just using the built in setting, many sites have native dark mode and the ones that don’t - I realised it does not bother me too much.

    I don’t see the value in using an extension just to automatically watch YouTube in HD. Maybe 10 years ago, but now we got Newpipe.

    Also Google Search has gone downhill for quite some time now. Why should I install an extension that reverts the enshittification Google has deliberately created?

    DDG, Qwant, searXNG maybe even Brave or Kagi are better options. If you like Google Search so much, at least use Startpage.

        I was skeptical about DeArrow but it is absolutely worth it. I don’t use the thumbnail replacer but removing clickbait titles makes YouTube so much more usable.

          In this case I agree because frankly removing the miniatures is really ugly but what saddens me with this extension is that he insists on paying.

            Then offer to host the database/servers on your own dime and make it free for everyone. It’s a completely reasonable price with the option to try it for free before paying.

      Pretty much any email masking tool that gives you more than 5 domains for free, especially considering several do this for free (Addy, DDG, Ironvest).

    It seems like YouTube High Definition has stopped working for me lately. Can’t seem to be able to open a settings page either.
