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

    If anyone is still following this post, I just came across TrackerControl for Android.
    It finds all tracker traffic in installed apps and blocks it! It even blocks in-app ads!
    It blows my mind, had been hoping for such an app for ages!
    It might take some tweaking for some apps to function properly, but it is pretty self explanatory.
    Beats every app I’ve ever come across! 🤍

    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!

        Yes it is! I switched to it after seeing some questions about things TamperMonkey was doing, given that it is (or at least was at the time) closed source.

        I don’t know about ViolentMonkey (sounds like a TamperMonkey variant?) but I use Stylus and yes it does the same things as TamperMonkey.

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

    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, 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.

    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?

    • 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.
