Bookmarks
A collection of various links I've saved over the years that ranges across a large variety of things, from programs, coding resources, art resources, to fun sites, and so on. Anything with a star (⭐) is something I use often, or high recommend for people.
I'll try not to include things I see pretty often like w3schools (though please please, if you do make your own website, it's so good for information). Each thing will have a #tag if you need to ctrl + F to find it.
Table of Contents
Website Resources
Centric on resources for making your own website, either in the form of templates, sites to check things, webrings/cool things, or just other resource hubs. You can also look in my /links for other sites that are full of resources, but I wanted to link to templates specifically as well

Firefox Extensions
My favourite extensions and a must!!! Don't murder your eyes with light mode at night!!!
Website
Description
automaticDark:
This allows you to swap the Firefox theme at certain hours, like going from a day
theme you like, to a night one (or being like the one person I saw who turned their
firefox theme a bright red at night to scare them into going to bed)
Dark Mode Reader:
As it says on the tin, dark mode for sites that will auto adjust pending on your
location or time of choice; life saviour at night time
Firefox's Multi Account Container:
A godsend for being able to be logged into multiple accounts on the same site (ex.
art account vs personal account), also for just keeping everything separate
Pinterest Ad / Promo Remover:
If you browse Pinterest on your laptop, this will remove all the annoying ads and
promos they sneak in when you're trying to find things
Return YouTube Dislikes:
As it says on the tin, return YouTube dislikes
Save WebP as PNG or JPEG:
As it says on the tin, save images easily as PNG or JPEG (also good for images that
don't make it easy to be downloaded)
Search by Image:
Since it's a pain in the ass to look up images like you would in Chrome, this
extension helps with that (be aware, if you have Skip Redirect, it'll mess up; just
need to disable it for google)
Skip Redirect:
As it says on the tin, will try to get you to the final webpage rather than having
you go through 'middle' sites (think like the ad sites you go through before getting
to your download link)
SponsorBlock:
Skip over sponsorships in videos (alongside things like intros, outros, subscription
reminders, etc.), and allows user submissions from people
Stylus:
Allow websites to have custom redesigns, this has been a life saviour for sites like
Tumblr to return it back to its old layout, or give dark mode to sites that don't
have it. You can also theme your Neocities homepage with it
uBlock Origins:
C'mon ... c'mon. I know I said no 'duh' websites but like. uBlock Origins ... c'mon
... the literal lifesaver from YouTube bothering you about getting Premium
Unhook:
Clean up your YouTube page to remove distracting elements like shorts, comments, or
even limiting the number of videos on the homepage
YouTube Enhancer:
Extra tidbits for enhancing your YouTube watching experience, I really like the
audio boost option for quieter videos
XKit Rewritten:
A must for tumblr blogs, literally were it not for XKit and its predecessors the
site would be even shittier to use
Programs, Apps, and Tools
This is for useful online programs/links, apps I use, or actual programs to download. Most of these I tend to use on a frequent, if not daily, basis. Some of these may be centric around emails, privacy tools, or hubs to find things (thanks FMHY)
Website
Description
Addy.io:
Email aliases, up to 10 MB monthly for free and unlimited alises (though the yearly
prices aren't too bad if you need more storage; 10MB usually covers all my current
aliases per month)
Auto Night Mode:
As it says on the tin, an auto dark mode that turns on dark mode for your Windows
(usually I'd keep mine in permanent dark mode, but I realize now with having a
dark/light mode, I prefer having a swap from light mode during the day to dark mode
at night)
Cobalt:
Free, non-ad-riddled video and audio downloader, just put in a link, and go
DeskPins:
Useful for pinning on top! I use this a lot for making sure certain windows stay on
top if they don't have it built in
Flux:
Saviour for your eyeballs, literally. Orange filter for nightime screen browsing
Free Media Heck Yeah:
What can I say? Free Media Heck Yeah. I mostly use it to find websites to watch
shows
Proton Mail:
Privacy centric email, also has extra tidbits like cloud storage, VPN, and more, but
I use it just for its emailing service. Free, with tiers for more things like alias
emails + ability to create automatic filters
ScreenZen:
Good if you wanna break your scrolling habits on mobile, allows you to customize how
much you can use apps, or even visit websites. I'm still trying to feel out for web
equivalents, but
LeechBlock seems to be the
closest
Stretchly:
Reminder breaks to get up or look away from the screen, can be customized
Structured:
A scheduling app which I visually really like, it shows your schedule in chunks +
how much free time you have; a lot of the nicer things are behind the subscription
cost (like being able to repeat schedule chunks), but it is also indie made
Tree File Size:
What I use to just check for what giant files are still on my hard drives, make sure
you grab the free version
Tuta Mail:
Privacy centric email, I also use this one for a different aspect of my life
(banking stuff). Also free and just has tiers for more extra tidbits
