This is a great way to give you control of what gets loaded when you visit a site. Unlike previous iterations of the "AdBlock" concept, uBlock Origin will give you a popup that lets you select which page elements to block or unblock. It has a blacklist and it blocks any of those automatically, but still gives the user the option of unblocking them. On the downside, it can be a pain to allow this and this, reload, now load this and this, reload, repeat 6 times, and FINALLY, THE EMBEDDED VIDEO WILL PLAY! But that's the trade-off you have to make to have that level of control. It is superb at blocking ads and some malicious page elements, I personally have even seen it block crypto-mining on certain sites where you download movies you have not purchased.... :/ It DID have issues with not loading some elements and thus perma-blocking them until you disabled the entire blocker, but those seem to be fixed now. Also, it continues to have the occasional hiccup in Firefox, but this is most likely a fault of Mozilla themselves and not Gorhill. FF kind of sucks now :( See More
It's actually not difficult to get used to. It looks intimidating because of all the switches and buttons, but thanks to the grid-like system like uMatrix uses, you only need to learn a few things to know what everything does, because each spot on the grid is only slightly different in function from the ones adjacent to it, and in a specific way based on whether the difference is vertical or horizontal.

It was 100% working and is great! I now feel more secure when browsing the internet. See More
This supports other privacy extensions and behavioural usage of the browser to minimize data snooping by bad actors. The tracking this extension prevents by high degree of resources is impressive. Without this extension outside sources will be hailed to 'bring' the resources for whatever website your own from an external source, which can log you when you make use of these services. See More
This add-on needs no setup before it starts working because it figures out which connections to block using an algorithm, as opposed to manual lists like other add-ons. Everything works out of the box, you don't have to select blocking lists like in other ad blockers and there's pretty much nothing to configure. See More
The current build includes a bug which seems to break youtube functionality. However after a bit of searching, a solution can be found. Posted here to help others who might be debugging all their extensions for youtube not loading videos. The solution for many seems to be to keep the autoplay function within Iridium settings ON. Now your videos will most likely load and play again like they should. See More
I love this one. It never fails to capture and download videos from YouTube, while many other similar applications fall short. It has easy to use options for the different qualities available, and more advanced options under the hood. The advanced options UI is a little difficult/annoying to navigate, but I have seen a lot worse. If you purchase the conversion license ($15), you can download and convert files in one action. It will convert one video format to another, or you convert videos to MP3, or AAC (or other audio formats) to MP3, etc, etc. Please note that the Chrome version of this utility can no longer work with YouTube, as Google has banned all extensions that download from YouTube.

No native app is available specifically for BlackBerry or Windows Phone devices. There is a feature called 1PasswordAnywhere that's built-in to the 1Password vault, which provides read-only access of the database. However, you can use the web app from your phone. Though this may not be optimal for everyone, especially when considering the service is paid. See More
LastPass uses a single master password to keep the rest of your unique passwords safe. All you need to do is remember your master password, and you will be able to log into any website which LastPass remembers. This means that you can have a different unique password for each website you use (which is highly suggested) without needing to remember them (once you enter your master password, LastPass will auto-fill the password for the website).

I would not recommend LastPass. A few years ago I would have recommended it with 5 stars and confetti. But now that LogMeIn (a company notorious for some of the worst customer support in their field, and a company with a checkered history of involvement with "your computer is infected, let me remote in" scammers) has purchased them, they have become pretty awful. The support is nigh nonexistent now, and the browser extensions (without which, LastPass would be completely useless) are not being properly updated. It seems that LogMeIn does not see LastPass as much of a priority at all, yet they are raising their subscription rates. Pretty ridiculous. Also the fingerprint reader support needs a lot of work.

LastPass offers multiple multifactor authentication options, including Google Authenticator, Grid Multifactor Authentication, Microsoft Authenticator App, Toopher Authentication, Duo Security Authentication, Transakt Authentication, Sesame Multifactor Authentication, Smart Card Authentication and Yubikey Multifactor Authentication.

When on lastpass.com you update the contents of a password file, it gets updated only on your side, not on the side of people it is shared with (and the UI does not tell you anything about this). Also, when you want to share a password file with someone, they often have trouble accessing it (bugs in registration or acceptation of the shared document). See More
