Today's #FreeSoftwareAdvent are some extensions which I find particularly useful.

For Thunderbird:

* Quick Folder Move lets me file email (including into folders in different accounts) via the keyboard. I use this goodness knows how many tens of times a day. https://services.addons.thunderbird.net/en-US/thunderbird/addon/quick-folder-move/

For Firefox:

* Consent-o-matic automatically suppresses malicious compliance cookie banners: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-GB/firefox/addon/consent-o-matic/

* uBlock Origin blocks all sorts of problematic stuff, and helps make for a much nicer browsing experience: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-GB/firefox/addon/ublock-origin/

* Recipe Filter foregrounds the actual recipe on recipe pages: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-GB/firefox/addon/recipe-filter/

* Shut Up is a comments blocker, which makes the web far more pleasant, with fewer random people's opinions: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-GB/firefox/addon/shut-up-comment-blocker/

Shut Up: Comment Blocker – Get this Extension for 🦊 Firefox (en-GB)

Download Shut Up: Comment Blocker for Firefox. Shut Up hides comments on most websites. You can show them on your favorite sites with a click of a button, and it'll remember that for next time.

Recipe Filter – Get this Extension for 🦊 Firefox (en-GB)

Download Recipe Filter for Firefox. This extension will detect recipes on any page you visit and will highlight them at the top of the page. No more hunting for the actual recipe when you visit a long-winded food blog! Fork of the excellent chrome extension.

uBlock Origin – Get this Extension for 🦊 Firefox (en-GB)

Download uBlock Origin for Firefox. Finally, an efficient wide-spectrum content blocker. Easy on CPU and memory.

Consent-O-Matic – Get this Extension for 🦊 Firefox (en-GB)

Download Consent-O-Matic for Firefox. Automatic handling of GDPR consent forms

Quick Folder Move

When filing messages, a search box will show up allowing you to quickly enter the folder name you want to move to. If no search term is entered, a list of recent folders will show up instead.

@neil Thanks for the recommendations (as ever).

Does consent-o-matic deal with 'legitimate interest' cookie prefs? It's really hard to tell from outside. I should probably just give it a try.

@JigsawPieces I can't be 100% sure, and I'd definitely use it in combination with uBlock Origin.
