These are browser extensions that either are related to / or contribute to making websites look older!
Note: Some of the extensions below might only work on specific browsers, namely chrome or firefox, though most should support both forms of browsers.
Firefox is kinda weird with extensions outside the mozilla addons store. Unlike Chrome where you have to unzip the extension, you can just leave it compressed which is cool. However, in order to keep these extensions (Which firefox calls "temporary addons", since they will disappear once you close out firefox) you must first be on either a esr, developer, or nightly build. Then, go to about:config in the address bar and change 'xpinstall.signatures.required' value to false. Now, the next time you open firefox they should stay! :)
RECOMMENDED EXTENSIONS:- Ublock Origin (A really good ad blocker, which honestly is a necessity on the web :,) )
- Stylus (For Userstyles)
- Tampermonkey (For UserScripts)
- Favicon Switcher (Allows you to change favicons for sites, like older ones :p)
Bookmark favicons are also weird on firefox. When using the above extension, for some reason it doesn't cchange the favicons of bookmarks, and theres not really an easy way to get around this. The easiest way I've found is by importing bookmarks from chrome with the favicon already changed. I doubt it would even be that hard to implement though, why mozilla why D,:
Since Extensions aren't as plentiful as say a userstyle for example, I decided to sort them by how many there are for one website.

- Disable Google Lens (this is required by above extension, though it works on its own too)
- Old Reddit Redirect (Redirects all reddit pages to old.reddit.com)
- Old Genius Redirect (They're removing the old page eventually so it wont work soon :( )
