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
uBlock Origin
NoScript
…and then uBlock Origin 5 more times.
If this wasn’t the top comment, it would have ruined my day
Don’t forget DeArrow!
- uBlock Origin
- SponsorBlock
- Consent-O-Matic
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
- NoScript
- Tree Style Tab
- Privacy Badger
- HTTPS Everywhere
- Plasma Integration
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.
-Ublock origin (first place, nonnegotiable)
-Dark reader
Dark reader for the win.
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.
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 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.
- Bypass paywall clean d
- unlock origin
Never needed any other, although i have a few anyways
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!
Since you already have the 3 most important ones listed, I’ll throw a vote for Enhancer for Youtube. Makes Youtube less annoying.
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.
- 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
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 want to add multi account containers to the list
