Ublock Origin is an obvious one, but I also can't stand not having Foxy Gestures anymore. It adds customizable mouse gestures, so you can set it up to have easy swipes to go back a page, reload a page, close a tab, etc, and it feels wonderful and smooth to use compared to just using the traditional buttons to do everything. Honestly it's kinda wild to me that this isn't more popular now that people are so used to phone gestures. It's good for the same reasons!

I use Grammarly, Facebook Container and uBlock Origin.
Facebook Container keeps facebook from spying on your internet traffic

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.

Bypass Paywalls Clean - It allows me to read articles on a huge number of sites without having to login or pay. I already have access to news sites I care about through legitimate means but for the sake of being able to quickly read something, this extension cannot be beat.> English

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

  • uBlock Origin is pretty self-explanatory
  • Highlighter + Notes helps my ADHD a lot by letting me highlight important phrases in big blocks of texts, especially any articles or posts I might be reading and replying to
  • Archive Page for archive.today is also self-explanatory, I like using it to create permalinks or de-paywalled links to news articles
