I’ll make a list of them and periodically update it, depending on their overall ranking in the comment section here.

    As with everyone else, I agree that Ublock origin is the first wonder of the world.

    Also up there however is just password managers in general, be that bitwarden, lastpass, protonpass, etc…

      I have never had more and safer passwords without any hassle, than since using Vaultwarden as a passwordsafe (there are many instances offerd without cost) in combination with Bitwarden extension in my browsers and the app on my phone.

      It’s so incredibly easy to use.

      You don’t need HTTPS Everywhere anymore by the way, it has native support in Firefox now.

      Yes.

      Tree Style Tab does not get enough mention here. It’s a much better way to display a tablist.

      XClear and TabMixPlus are up there too.

      Add bitwarden and that’s what I have on all my browsers. Skip ads, skip passwords, skip paywalls — it’s like the internet of old!

    I’ll add ViolentMonkey (run arbitrary custom script on a site), and Stylus (add custom CSS to a site). These are great for adding extra features/utilities to a site you use a lot, adding dark mode to a website that doesn’t support it, etc.

      Is this similar to TamperMonkey? (i.e. userscripts)

      I don’t know what I’d do without it!

    Love how you gave uBlock Origin as a starter already, so we don’t need to repeat that obvious champion over and over again, yet almost nobody can take a hint.

    uBlock Origin
    Dark Reader
    FastForward
    Search by Image
    Yomitan

    I’m not sure what the other two would be.

    uBlock Origin, duh.

    Privacy Badger.

    Mouse Gestures (any of them, there’s multiple).

    Reader view, because sometimes all you need is the text, in a pleasantly readable format.

    • uBlock Origin. full stop
    • leechblock for (attempting) to stay focused
    • Zotero is also pretty nifty if you have a lot of sources/ writing a paper, but I’m not sure it would be one of the seven best

    I think a chrome update nixed it, but I used the heck out of Imagus. All it does is expand to a full size image when you hover over an image on a website.

    I really need to get that working again. I’m constantly hovering over images for no reason still.

    I only have two; uBlock Origin and Firefox Multi-Account Containers.

    Those are the only two I use all the time (I like to keep things clean and simple and avoid fingerprinting, there are others that I might enable for a specific task), and I consider them essential enough that they ought to be built into the browser.

      I also use Temporary containers for all the sites I don’t explicitly assign to a persistent container. How do you handle this? Is there a way to delete cookies just for the default (non) containers? Is there a way to fully isolate the sites in the default one?
