I’ll start:

  • XMPP vs. WhatsApp/FB messenger/Snapchat
  • IRC vs. Matrix, Teams, Discord etc.
  • Forums vs. Social media, Reddit, Lemmy(?)

    uMatrix browser extension. It has been marked archived by Gorhill, last release is two years old, you are supposed to just use uBlock [Origin]. However, it still (luckily) works fine and is exactly what I want. (Sure, I won’t install this for my parents.) The GUI to simply choose what you want the site to be allowed to do is perfect.

      I wonder if Gorhill could have avoided a lot of the nonsense bug reports by making uMatrix default to allowing everything, as if it was not installed at all.

      Used it and it was good, as I remember. Later switched to uBlock Origin because it presumably uses less resources and does the job.
