Ublock origin ofc
- uBlock Origin: Blocks ads, annoying popups and cookie banners.
- Bitwarden: For password management and logins.
- SponsorBlock: Skips sponsors and self-promotions on YouTube. A huge time-saver.
Tree style tabs, which gives vertical tabs that you can arrange in a hierarchy to keep related ones together
Simple tab groups, which lets you have multiple sets of open tabs you can switch between (can you tell I have a problem with too many tabs?)
Unstick!, which when clicked removes any sticky elements, i.e. parts of the page that stay on your screen while you scroll. It’s great for removing all the bars and obstructions to reading that pages like to put in your way. For some reason I have to click it twice for it to work
Read aloud, a good text to speech extension to read pages or parts of pages to you. It can be used with cloud based neural voices from Google and Amazon with some setup
Consent-o-matic, which gets rid of the cookie consent popups for you and it’s configurable as to which types of cookies it will refuse or consent to for you
SponsorBlock for YouTube, which can auto skip sponsor reads and various other kinds of segments you select to be skipped
A few short months ago I would have said RES but, well 🤷♀️

Ublock Origin

I see some of these have already been mentioned, but they do deserve repeating;
- µBlock Origin - blocks ads, and does it well.
- Privacy Badger - blocks trackers, rewrites some tracking URLs, etc.
- Multi-Account Containers - for those places where you want to keep tabs separate, giving each container its own cookies/session/etc.
- Consent-O-Matic - automatically handles a lot of pages that shove annoying (and often technically GDPR-illegal due to lacking a quick “reject all” button) consent forms in your face.
- Imagus - shows linked images on hover, including support for galleries and scrolling through all the images contained.
I use I don’t care about cookies, I wonder how different it is from consent-o-matic
FYI- I was about to install “I don’t care about cookies” when I noticed all the 1 star reviews. People saying its been purchased by Avast and is now data mining.
“I still don’t care about cookies” is a community fork, does the same thing but isn’t owned by a big company.
There was an imagus fork which is actively maintained
Does consent-o-matic also rejects them or just accepts them?
@Daefsdeda @ace you can choose what kind of cookies to accept and reject in the extension’s settings.
Thanks that is amazing

How does this compare to Privacy Badger?
- uBlock Origin (of course)
- Tab Stash: It lets you organize your tabs into groups and keep the groups around in a sidebar that unloads them when you don’t need them at the moment. Very helpful for someone like me who always has a bunch of tabs open.
- uBlacklist: It lets you blacklist domains from showing up in search results. It supports different search engines. Every helpful to get rid of SEO spam sites and mirror sites.
- Duplicate Tabs Closer: It detects when you have multiple tabs open for the same webpage.
Awesome thread!
Indispensable: UBlock Origin, Bitwarden
Handy: Tab Stash, I Don’t Care About Cookies, Dark Reader
Testing (based on thread): Consent-O-Matic and SponsorBlock
- Ublock origin: block ads
- Vimium: browse with vim like keystrokes
- Firenvim: edit text areas in neovim
- Dark reader: dark colors on webpages
- Containers: isolate browsing data
The vim related extensions works for real? 😱 I need to try them ASAP!
uBlock origin
Ublock [1] and Noscript [2] are must have. you could also checkout Privacy Badger [3].

No script is redundant with ublock origin on advanced mode.
Would you please let me know how do i get the same “all scripts are blocked” and allowlist specific domains only like in noscript? As far as i know ublock enable/disable javascript for whole website not subdomains. I could be wrong. And noscript have xss protection.
I have used noscript for a long time but after trying umatrix (from the ublock origin developer) I doubt I’m going back since this one feels more powerful. Maybe you want to give that one a try 🙂. I use it alongside ublock.
as far as i know umatrix is unmaintained. so the default ublock + noscript seems the best combination.
Umatrix became unmaintained because ublock origin can handle most of its use cases. You just need to run Ublock origin in medium or hard mode. More info ca he found on wiki: https://github.com/gorhill/uBlock/wiki/Blocking-mode:-medium-mode
Multi account container and temporary container.
- Reopen closed Tabs
I often want to reopen a tab i recently closed, so this is very handy for me.
- Languagetool
On the fly rule-based Spelling check. Works very good and in many languages. And the best: It’s Open Source.
- Facebook-, Google- and Microsoftcontainer
Uses the Firefox Tab-Container Fwature, to lock those companies in Tab-Groups just with themselves. I don’t use Tab-Groups aside of that, so it comes in handy.
