Firefox was my browser of choice until they went to the policy of continuous updates instead of scheduled roll outs. I don’t want to have to go through a browser update when I just want to do a quick lookup on the internet. Brave is my go-to these days, although it is Google based. But Firefox still is the best way to escape Google spyware.

LibreWolf privacy and security based fork of firefox

I'm using Brushed Metal GREY browser theme

YesScript2 - default off javascript blocker -- I also use Ublock Origin

Print Friendly & PDF - generates print friendly pages or PDF for download

Youtube Enhancer - self explanatory

History Export - exports history and more

Tree Style Tab manager (left or right sidebar - not shown full length - with my laptop, I need all the height I can get so multi-row horizontal tabs would be bad)

Dark Mode addon - for web pages, not a browser theme -- https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/user/11809182/

wikipedia and FR but I've tweaked the addon's default colors for FR - works better on some sites than others so I also have a Custom CSS addon to tweak any site's colors

Aside from browsers, because I was looking for a place to post the below, there is the popular free utility as AutoHotKey to install by which you create scripts which will do such things as easily remap keys (as I do,for efficiency and do to stiff arthritic fingers) once you find the codes.

In AutoHotKey ^ is ctrl; # is the Win key; + is shift; and ! is alt and > together with a duplicate key differentiates btwn left and right, so that #>+ would mean Win key and right shift.

Each command at below is placed on a separate line.

Accordingly, as regards the issue at hand, my script looked like:

CapsLock::^c

NumLock::Esc

Esc::^v

mbutton::^x

“Return” is placed at the end of the coding.

Thus Caps Lock is remapped to ctrl+c (which I find hard to
accomplish past sessions in Linux);

and Esc to ctrl+v ;

NumLock to Esc

and the middle mouse button to ctrl+x:

Or could change

f2::^v

f4::^x

You could also add a whole lot of Run commands as in:

#9::Run eventvwr.msc

#7::Run control.exe

#8::Run diskmgmt.msc

#9::Run eventvwr.msc

Such are proceeded by Run.

There is also a way to copy and paste as plain text,

Thank God for such options and those who code them.
