Ublock Origin is an obvious one, but I also can’t stand not having Foxy Gestures anymore. It adds customizable mouse gestures, so you can set it up to have easy swipes to go back a page, reload a page, close a tab, etc, and it feels wonderful and smooth to use compared to just using the traditional buttons to do everything. Honestly it’s kinda wild to me that this isn’t more popular now that people are so used to phone gestures. It’s good for the same reasons!
Can y’all point me in the right direction on why grammarly is shady? Maybe that premium account was a bad idea, but I’ve loved it for the last few years to help me be a better writer.

That said, I’m not sure if it’s the same for the paid version (as I mainly use it to make fewer typos in reddit/lemmy posts, it’s not something I want to pay for :D)
I wish I could upvote this 2x. I’ll be trying some alternatives. I get they have to analyze the text to make suggestions, but then seriously, ditch the data.
I was lazy and clicked through with the “big, common name should be OK” thought. *I’ll take my sticker of shame on this one, and try to do better in the future.
I’d say mainly privacy concerns. Everything you type is sent to Grammarly servers. I’m not sure what is done with that data.
