Most of those Addons are for me to not go insane or blind.
How do you use no script these days, are you turning it on after visiting a page, or whitelisting when things don't work?
I whitelist after visiting a page, if it breaks majorly so I can't use it. And often I only need to allow the main page's scripts and maybe video., img. or cdn. subdomains.
Firefox already has HTTPS Everywhere functionality built in these days
True, and according to some sources on the FF forum the builtin is better. I just installed it years ago and mostly forgot lol
What's Karrinator?
There's nothing that explains it on its description page. Based on comments on its page (translated to English), my wild guess is: it's making people laugh while reading news somehow by changing names of politicians in the news articles.
Thanks for the other suggestions too.
Damn, I just noticed I accidentally wrote in german, I didn't even notice the post is in english lol. To Germans it would make sense, as it's exactly what you noticed; it just changes Annegret Kramp-Karrenbauers name to something funny, she's an ex-defense minister of Germany.
LOL.
Why specifically her though. Although, the idea is neat. Does it generate random funny names?
Well, it's based on an apparently pretty large set of funny names for her, thought of by r/ich_iel etc.
