Built a open-source browser extension to stop my doomscrolling

I was looking for a website blocker to help me focus, but almost all the options on the web store are either bloated, want you to create an account, or charge a monthly fee just to block more than a few sites.
I spent my free time coding a lightweight browser extension called Flow. I recorded a quick screen recording of the interface.
The extension is entirely local-first. All your browsing history, blocked lists, and statistics stay on your own computer. There are no cloud databases, no user accounts, and no data tracking.
I would love to get your feedback on the UI/UX and any features you think I should add next.

Brave: "In reality, there’s no such thing as a free browser."

So sad to see Eich veering so far away from Mozilla's foundations (specifically principle 7). I suppose next he's going to declare that HTML5 and JavaScript are pay to use as well!!

Do I have any unnecessary extensions?

For some reason my browser is using 70% of system ram, so I think I'll get rid of 1 or 2 extensions....

So I tried to switch to firefox...

Please tell me is it just me or not. I am coming from Brave and everything works great there but I always respected firefox and wanted to work in it. This is the third time I tried to switch. First time I had a problem on my android phone - tabs were reloading the moment I leave them. Second time I noticed some minor bugs on desktop. Now I have troubles on both of my PCs (OS - linux mint):

  1. When I type search prompt in the address bar (with google as a search engine) sometimes I need to press enter several times for browser to start loading the page.
  2. Gemini website loses connection when it's idle for several minutes and I need to reload it.
  3. Some websites don't load from the first time. Also need to reload several times.
  4. Found a bug that I can't use 360 view on google maps (I see only black screen).

And some bugs were with turned off extensions and mozilla tracker. If it's just me then I guess it's my destiny to not use firefox :(

How to disable “Allow Cookies” pop-ups?

Hi, I’m switching from Brave to Firefox, and I’m really enjoying but there is one thing that annoys me: the cookie consent pop-up on almost every website asking me to accept cookies and data collection.

Is there a reliable way to automatically reject them (or hide them entirely) so I don’t have to deal with the pop-up on every site?

Advanced Video Player Extension For Firefox (pc+android)

I got tired of web video players missing basic features so i made advanced video Player extension For Firefox (pc+android)
What it does:

‱ Aspect ratio control (Fit / Fill / Stretch / Zoom / 4:3 / 16:9 / 2.35:1) — kill those black bars

‱ Zoom & pan (pinch-to-zoom on mobile)

‱ Playback speed + hold-for-2×

‱ Volume boost up to 300% (louder than the site allows)

‱ Brightness & video filters (contrast, saturation, blur, etc.)

‱ Rotate / mirror

‱ Subtitles — auto-detect tracks or load your own local subtitles .srt/.vtt

‱ Quality detection on basically any site

‱ Picture-in-Picture, screenshot, A–B loop, frame stepping

‱ Full keyboard shortcuts (PC) + touch gestures (Android): double-tap seek, swipe for brightness/volume, long-press 2×

‱ you can select the default video quality and speed and aspect ratio by clicking the extension icon and select what you want

How does it work?: simple play any video you will see a button Red button called "Videomax" just press it
try it on firefox and give me your feedback

My laptop restarted and now everything on Firefox is gone.

I'm on Windows 11.

Okay so basically, I was just listening to some music on youtube and stuff like that, suddenly my apps froze and my laptop told me that we've run into an issue and need to restart.

It did that then it boots up again, I go on to open Firefox and it opens the start page, everything is blank, it also updated (since I didn't have the newest update on it). None of my bookmarks are there, my profile doesn't show up, it doesn't remember ANYTHING.

Is there anything I can do and has anyone else had this issue? If nothing can be done I will just manually make it like it was before though that'll be a pain in the ass especially since I had like 50 bookmarks most of which O don't remember.

Firefox quietly replaces custom DNS with Cloudflaire

As of recently Firefox replaces the custom DoH settings with Cloudflare after toggling between Custom and Default.

A custom DoH configuration prevents captive portal login pages from opening (a common need when traveling). So it's necessary to temporarily switch to the default resolver. However, after switching back to your custom provider, Firefox replaces it with Cloudflare.

This is my DoH configuration before and after ticking the Default button to allow the portal page to load.

I tried every setting in about:config I could think of, including removing the default DoH server altogether, but Cloudflare still pops up every time.

Is there a way to override this behavior?
