QoL extensions I use on top of uBlock:

  • Consent-O-Matic (auto denies those annoying "our 500 partners would like your data" popupd)
  • FastForward (skips link shorteners)
  • DeArrow (honest yt titles and thumbnails)
  • SponsorBlock (skips sponsors in yt)
  • Tamper-/Greasemonkey (various userscripts)
  • Password manager of choice extension (Bitwarden for me)
  • Dark Reader (dark mode sites without dark mode)

It really does depend on the job and office environment. Personally I go to the office every day (even when nobody else from my project is there), why wouldn't I? Its a place where I can talk with people that have similar interests, play with colleagues on a footballtable and play chess against the managing director during work hours. Not to mention that working together does in fact go a lot easier if you can pull the relevant people into a meeting room together and hash something out.

Of course that doesn't apply to every job everywhere, heck out of all jobs I've had so far only about half were anywhere close to being like the environment I have now.

And more factors are in play ofcourse, like if you have to drive an hour each way thats a lot of wasted time.

First they came for the people making jokes in private chats, and I did not speak out because I make no jokes in private chats.

Then they came for the anarchists, and I did not speak out because I am not an anarchist.

Then they came for the people organizing protests in private chats, and I did not speak out because I don't take part in protest.

Then they came for everyone hating billionaires, and I did not speak out because maybe some day I'll be one.

Then they came for me, and there was no one left to speak out for me


The technology exists now, what makes you think they're only filtering things you want them to.

Public institutions also have in-house software roles, and if those are insufficient they can have a tender to make the software that belongs to the public institution afterward (to then be hosted government managed infra). This happens all the time.

So its not right to dismiss this immediately.

People that get caught driving drunk get an alcohol lock on their car, let's at the very least install a speed check (hard limiter or the automatic fine thing) in repeat offenders' cars

Just because criminals value their privacy doesn't mean that everyone that values their privacy is a criminal.
