Firefox Add-ons I'm Using

I've been a Firefox user for as long as I can remember.

Even though I know Chrome is probably more convenient in many ways, I still find myself sticking with Firefox.

So today, I thought I’d share some of the Firefox add-ons I use. I’ll mainly focus on the slightly unusual or niche ones.

&udm=14

This add-on automatically appends udm=14 to your Google search URLs.

It’s said to reduce the number of recent news articles that appear, giving you cleaner and more relevant results.

Amazon Unsponsor

Hides sponsored products in Amazon search results.

I can’t stand sponsored listings, so this is a lifesaver.

Defund Wikipedia

Hides donation banners on Wikipedia.

They’ve been getting more aggressive each year, so this one really helps.

Element Blocker

Lets you manually hide specific elements on websites.

Great for removing stubborn ads or pop-ups that ad blockers miss.

Infy Scroll - A Next Page AutoPager

Turns paginated websites into infinite scroll.

There are a few similar extensions, but so far this one feels the most stable and easy to use.

Measure-it

Allows you to measure element sizes on websites.

Simple and intuitive. Very handy when working on site designs.

New Tab Homepage

Opens a specific page whenever you open a new tab.

Honestly surprised this isn’t a default option.

Open bookmarks in new tab

Makes bookmarks open in a new tab instead of the current one.

Again, surprised this isn’t built-in.

Open Graph Preview

Lets you preview a page’s OGP (Open Graph Protocol) image.

Interesting to see how many websites forget to set one.

Open in Chrome™ Browser

Adds a button that opens the current page in Chrome.

Super useful for cross-browser testing.

Open in Safari

Same as above, but for Safari.

Pixiv Infinite Scroll

Adds infinite scroll support to Pixiv.

Honestly, Pixiv’s default pagination is super outdated.

Progressive Web Apps for Firefox

Surprisingly allows you to use PWAs in Firefox.

I didn’t expect this to work so smoothly — but it does!

QuickDrag WE

Lets you select text and drag it to automatically search in your default search engine.

Great for eliminating the need to copy and paste.

Scroll To Top

Adds a button to scroll back to the top of any page.

The design is a bit dated, but it’s really handy.

Show/Hide passwords

Adds a toggle to show or hide password fields.

Very helpful for those moments when you just need to see what you typed.

Text Link webext

Allows you to double-click plain text URLs to open them in a new tab.

Great for browsing 2ch-style forums or anywhere with unlinked URLs.

Hide PR Items on Rakuten

Hides PR (sponsored) items from Rakuten search results.

Another one I really appreciate — PR items are just noise to me.

That’s about it! I wonder how many of these have Chrome equivalents.

In any case, Firefox still feels a bit underground, and I kinda like that.
