Rules

While we are not an official Mozilla community, we have adopted the Mozilla Community Participation Guidelines as far as it can be applied to a bin.

Rules

  1. Always be civil and respectful
    Don't be toxic, hostile, or a troll, especially towards Mozilla employees. This includes gratuitous use of profanity.

  2. Don't be a bigot
    No form of bigotry will be tolerated.

  3. Don't post security compromising suggestions
    If you do, include an obvious and clear warning.

  4. Don't post conspiracy theories
    Especially ones about nefarious intentions or funding. If you're concerned: Ask. Please don’t fuel conspiracy thinking here. Don’t try to spread FUD, especially against reliable privacy-enhancing software. Extraordinary claims require extraordinary evidence. Show credible sources.

  5. Don't accuse others of shilling
    Send honest concerns to the moderators and/or admins, and we will investigate.

  6. Do not remove your help posts after they receive replies
    Half the point of asking questions in a public sub is so that everyone can benefit from the answers—which is impossible if you go deleting everything behind yourself once you've gotten yours.

I am in a bit of a pickle. I'm a developer, and I also use some crypto social media, and I also like downloading media sometimes, I do a lot of stuff. I modify CSS, I script & hack the web, yadda yadda. Basically what this means is I ended up with like 50 addons I juggle-enable-disable all the time. This is extremely frustrating without some kind of grouping them, or at the very least searching only among my installed addons to enable/disable.

Do you guys have any idea if a tool or method exists to solve this problem?

@igorlogius too much stuff, and it also interferes with what i'm developing. My addons will force: dark mode, select anything, allow right click, allow scroll anywhere, click through overlays to examine images, etc. My addons are basically completely destroying websites to enable me to browse easier, but it's not an accurate representation when I'm trying to make a website. I've often thought my site looks one way when it's actually my addons modifying it, then I open it on chrome or some sandbox and it's a mess of mismatched colors and misunderstandings. Additionally, I have at least 4 addons that inject classnames into what i'm coding (bitwarden, hive keychain, metamask, near meteor), so html is basically unreadable for chatgpt when i feed it html to examine. I also have a bunch of useless crap that injects user agents or disables certain kinds of overlays that would block navigation.

overall it's just a ton of crap that i use for everyday browsing, but is completely counterproductive when coding.
