Browse without the garbage
Ads were driving me insane, so I put this together. just the tools I use to make the web usable again.
Support the people who build theseThe Tools
I use these four. They're open source and they actually work.
Firefox
Firefox is the only browser I’m willing to use. It’s not perfect, but at least it doesn’t fight you for blocking ads like Chromium-based browsers do.
Download Firefox →uBlock Origin
If you don't have this, the web is unusable. It's fast, doesn't sell your data, and stops the trash. Just install it.
Add to Firefox →Violentmonkey
Runs the scripts that fix the internet. I use it to bypass timers and clean up site UI. Simple as that.
Add to Firefox →Tampermonkey
Another scripts manager. Use it if you don't like Violentmonkey for some reason. Does the same thing.
Add to Firefox →Link Bypasser
I hate "Wait 10 seconds" pages. This script skips them. Saves a lot of time.
How to set it up →Step-by-Step
Do this in order. Takes like 5 minutes.
Get Firefox
Firefox isn't perfect, but at least it won't lock you out for blocking ads like Chromium-based browsers do.
- Download it: mozilla.org/firefox
- Install it. Just click through.
- Launch it.
Add uBlock Origin
The only extension you really need.
- Install from Add-ons Store
- Hit "Add to Firefox"
- It starts working immediately. Check your toolbar.
Script Manager
You need this to run custom scripts. Pick one:
- Violentmonkey: I use this one (Recommended)
- Tampermonkey: Use this if you want (Alternative)
Install the Bypasser
This kills the "Wait 10s" junk.
-
One-click install:
[Install the Script] - Click "Confirm Installation" when the manager pops up.
- Done. No more timers.
Note: Check Amm0ni4's page sometimes for updates.
Filters & Sites
Mess with the settings once you know what you're doing.
- Add more filter lists in uBlock if you want.
- Whitelist sites that aren't trash.
- Find more scripts on Greasyfork.
- That's it. Enjoy.
Other Stuff
Not required, but I use these to make things even cleaner.
Return YT Dislikes
I'm not wasting time on garbage tutorials. This brings back the dislikes so I know if a video is a waste of time.
Add to Firefox →SponsorBlock
Skips the "sponsored by" garbage automatically. Saves hours of my life.
Add to Firefox →DeArrow
I'm sick of seeing open-mouth thumbnails and red arrows. This replaces clickbait with community-sourced titles and actual frames from the video.
Utilities
Software you should probably have if you're on Windows.
Windows Activation
The only way to activate Windows and Office without the BS. Open source and clean.
Visit massgrave.dev →IDM Trial Reset
Resets the IDM trial so you don't have to pay for it. Simple utility by J2TEAM.
Visit GitHub Repository →qBittorrent
uTorrent is trash now. This is open source, light, and doesn't have ads or miners.
Download qBittorrent →AB Download Manager
An IDM alternative that actually looks good. Fast as hell and open source.
WinUtil
Chris Titus's script. Use it to debloat Windows and install apps fast. I run this on every new install.
View WinUtil on GitHub →ReVanced
Fixes the YouTube app. Adds SponsorBlock, returns dislikes, and kills the ads.
Visit ReVanced.app →ReVanced (APKs)
Pre-built ReVanced APKs if you don't want to patch them yourself.
Visit GitHub Repository →The Collection
Where I go to find free resources.
FMHY
