I’ll make a list of them and periodically update it, depending on their overall ranking in the comment section here.
- uBlock Origin
- Dark Reader , No Script
I couldn’t live without FoxyGestures (formerly FireGeatures) anymore. I’ve been using it for over 15 years.
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.
Can’t live without it! Works on Firefox if that’s an option for you.
Don’t forget DeArrow!
I prefer Adnauseam over uBlock Origin.
It uses uBlock Origin as a base, but extends it to click on ads in addition to blocking them.
I don’t even have 7 extensions enabled in my main browser. I have:
- uBlock Origin
- Multi-Account Containers
- Temporary Containers
- KeePassXC
- Return youtube dislike
Other than uBlock Origin, I don’t think they are worthy of “Wonder of the world” status.
Why Return YouTube Dislike? Isn’t lowest/no engagement more effective these days.
I wouldn’t need the extension for pressing the button. I have it to see the number.
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
NoScript
…and then uBlock Origin 5 more times.
If this wasn’t the top comment, it would have ruined my day
- uBlock Origin
- SponsorBlock
- Consent-O-Matic
- ublock Origin
- NoScript
- Tree Style Tab
- Privacy Badger
- HTTPS Everywhere
- Plasma Integration
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.
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.
-Ublock origin (first place, nonnegotiable)
-Dark reader
Dark reader for the win.
Since you already have the 3 most important ones listed, I’ll throw a vote for Enhancer for Youtube. Makes Youtube less annoying.
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.
Interesting! I had no idea. Thank you!
I don’t know about ViolentMonkey (sounds like a TamperMonkey variant?) but I use Stylus and yes it does the same things as TamperMonkey.
Nice!
I want to add multi account containers to the list
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.
