For me, it's ublock origin, libredirect, and Dark Background Light Text

edit: woah, that’s a lot of addons! I’ll have to check those out at some point!

Libredirect? What does it do?

[–] scheep@lemmy.world 3 points 4 hours ago

redirects links to alternative clients/frontends. for example, redirecting youtube links to go to invidious, piped, freetube, etc.

Essentially redirects site X to site Y. It has a focus on privacy oriented websites/alternatives. So for example you have have YouTube.com be redirected to a invidious instance or freetube. Or have reddit be redirected to a proxy interface for reddit.

Recommend checking it out, works quite well! I even self host many of these alternatives myself and have reddit redirected to my own libreddit instance for when I need to view someone's post.
