Any features or apps more people should know of or would benefit from?

On this one, the No Large Media Elements from ublock Origin, it is a pretty good feature. Animations or pictures larger than the selected size are replaced by a red border. Clicking it will load that image.
Or you can temporarily turn it off for the website and reload the tab. There is an option to exclude Websites too. e.g. Excluding Lemmy instances where you want to see images by default.

More info: https://github.com/gorhill/uBlock/wiki/Per-site-switches#no-large-media-elements

Remembered about this recently in a Lemmy convo. I had heard that uBo with full capabilities is now only available in Firefox.
Curious to know other apps or extensions that may have some cool features.

How is this an asklemmy?

[–] NotSteve_@lemmy.ca 9 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Any similar features in popular apps or extensions that may good to know of?

I'd guess this part

I saw this posted in fdroid as well. While good info, it seems like it's being spammed in strange places.

Why? Fdroid makes sense to me since they're talking about mobile apps; Asklemmy makes sense since it's a question. Where else should OP have posted this?

I did not ask the question in fdroid.

I remembered this feature in a Lemmy convo. I searched for the link and info to comment there. After that, thought that it would be good to share to fdroid sub, as it would apply there.

After that, thought whether there would other features like this in popular apps or extensions. So asked here.

Do you categorise this as spam because you saw it in 2 communities? Wouldn't spam need more copies? Or is it something unwanted?

Because of the question on similar features in apps or extensions.

Should I edit the title to only have the question? The part about uBlock in the post body only?
