By tools I mean anything from alternate frontends to add-ons/extensions for browsers or anything else. By features I mean any built-in features the service may provide to give you some degree of customization or control over your experience, e.g. lists/blocking/keyword filtering/etc.

Thanks in advance!

I use https://greasyfork.org/en/scripts/431970-fb-clean-my-feeds for facebook.

uBlock Origin with various annoyances filters enabled takes care of a ton of stuff as well.

Adblockers...

And just staying the hell off anything that the masses use. Every platform went to shit once they got big.

It's not really a tool, but I'm very careful about what I upload online. I never use my real name and I never upload identifying selfies or things that can lead to my identification.

The internet has become a nasty place full of nasty people who have no shame, online and in real life.

Youtube - I use uBlock Origin, and a mental tool, I curate the shit out of my watch history, if I watch a video that falls even slightly outside my core focus, I will remove it from my history.

If I discover a new channel to watch I still remove the videos watched from my history.

Only when I have watched enough videos from the channel that I know the content will I keep the history.
