I literally cannot browse the web anymore without HoverZoom+

Firefox (I am not going to repeat the obvious ones that have been mentioned numerous times):

• IPvFoo: Display IP address information for website
• tabdetach: I always juggle around my windows. Being able to detach, attach and merge tabs without using the mouse is really useful.
• Cookie AutoDelete: Removes cookies unless whitelisted

Sponsorblock. Makes YouTube, even with Premium, a lot more enjoyable.

-Vimium (install and hit the letter 'f' key. You will immediately understand the appeal if you are a keyboard jockey)
-A Userscript handler (Violentmonkey)
-Dark Reader
-Save to Pocket (I have a Kobo ereader, this extension is a must for reading on the go)
-Bitwarden
-Ublock if the browser doesn't have baked in Ad blocks.

I love reading the responses to this question.

• PrivacyBadger
• Consentomatic
• Bitwarden
• something for mouse gestures
• Sponsorblock
• YouTube enhancement suite (not sure about the name)

I'm on Vivaldi so I don't know how many of these are available to Firefox. Leaving out all the obvious ones like adblocker, password manager, userscripts, etc.

Privacy Pass; do less captchas. Every time you solve a captcha, it stores a few "tokens" in your browser, essentially verifying you as human extra times at once. The next few times you encounter the same brand of catcha, your browser will "spend" one of those tokens to automatically be treated as high confidence, skipping the captcha.

Bot Sentinel; puts a little score next to people's names on Twitter, showing how often they've been reported to the Bot Sentinel site for various things like spam, trolling, or hatespeech; it's nice to know at a glance when you just shouldn't engage with someone.

Jiffy Reader; when it's enabled, hilights the first couple letters of every word, which is great for ADHD because it makes your automatic reflex be to look at each word one at a time, rather than skim the whole section.

Teleparty; watch netflix, etc, with friends, with a little built-in chatroom

Trim; show IMDB/Rotten Tomato ratings on netflix, etc, thumbnails; a real minor tweak, but I'm a big fan

Beyond20 and the VTT Enhancement Suite; specialized D&D addons that made playing online so much easier during the pandemic. Beyond20 pipes your character sheet macro rolls from D&D Beyond directly into Roll20, and VTTES adds all sorts of bonus functionality to Roll20.

Some of my favorite Firefox extensions:

uBlock Origin: The best ad blocker you can get.
Imagus: Enlarges images and displays linked images when you hover over them.
Multi-Account Containers: Allows you to create containers to completely isolate specific sites.
KeePassXC-Browser: Browser integration for KeePassXC password manager.
SponsorBlock: Skips sponsored video segments on youtube.
Hide Youtube-Shorts: Hides those annoying vertical videos on youtube.
Enhancer for Youtube: Lots of extra configuration options and controls for youtube.

umatrix. ..underappreciated imo.
take a shot for everytime sum1 mentions ublock.
get $100 dollars everytime sum1 mentions umatrix.
im still broke but wasted AF!

These are my current favs for safari.

Ublock + Sponsorblock are a killer combo I couldn't use the internet without. I also use keepa to see amazon price history.

Gestures. Hover zoom images. Tab tree view.

FoxScroller, I like to scroll pages while practicing music, which always impresses people. Gesturefy, gotta have those mouse gestures. With a tiny Windows program called NeatMouse I can do it all with the keyboard, too. Kinda off topic. Imagus, what is this clicking and opening crap? SessionSync is good for saving your tabs. Fun to see what you were wasting time on 5 years ago.
