    Some good browser add-ons that I don’t see getting recommended too much:

    I have recently started using the Firefox relay extension. It is an extension that lets you create throwaway email addresses that forward to your actual email address. Its really useful if you are signing up to a mail list/service that you think might spam you or sell your email address.

    Firefox Multi-Account containers groups websites into separate containers. For example your could have all your google account activity in one container and lemmy in another container. This means that the links you open when browsing lemmy won’t be linked back to your google account with cookies.

      I use the Nitter Redirect and Old Reddit Redirect to “fix” links to the two websites. Also, NoScript to “fix” most random links I follow.

      I just discovered Multi-Account containers and it blew my mind that before that there was no way at all to be connected to multiple accounts on the same browser.
