Oh I haven't set up git yet. Will let you know. Are you subscribed to HN comments? (e.g. via http://www.hnreplies.com/ )

You'd be waiting for chrome?

I also pasted the wrong link I figured. FF is here: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/seen-it-all/

I can recommend:

- Timelense preview for youtube: https://timelens.io/youtube/ (needs greasemonkey or something)

- Opens pdfs in my pdf reader right away: https://add0n.com/open-in.html?from=pdf (invert sumatra pdf on windows and you even have a dark mode: "...\SumatraPDF.exe" -bg-color #000000 -set-color-range #FFFFFF #000000 )

- (there is also one to open in chrome, really good if you are using FF but need to use google products like meet or jamboard)

- TTS with amazon polly support (if you have an AWS account): https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/read-aloud-a-text-...

- oh and mouse users should always scroll my dragging right-click IMO :) https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/scroll_anywhe...

- adblock for youtube sponsored bla bla within the video https://sponsor.ajay.app/

- backup what you typed in form fields: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/textarea-cach...

- stylish if you know CSS. I made wikipedia look more like the mobile version, make visited links visible globally, hide jira crap for sprint plannings etc.

- for good keyboard hint navigation: trydactyl (but saka keys is probably more beginner friendly)

- Show which links are fresh on news sites (e.g. on HN). FF only for now though. Just published it myself: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/developers/addon/seen-it-al....

I can recommend alternatively https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/sidebery/

Much nice I think, but had some bugs with sessions sometimes.

I just wrote one to show which links are fresh on news sites (e.g. on HN). FF only for now though:

https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/developers/addon/seen-it-al...

feedback welcome

Seen = seen, not visited :)

Feedback welcome, still highly experimental.

I support a bunch of sites right now, but the goal is to make it universal so you can toggle it on and off anywhere (just ajax/endless scroll will be off limits for a while).

If people use it I'll also port to Chrome (still have to tickle what elements on page scroll out of Chrome).
