uBlock Origin
Everything else is personal preference. Though my honorary mention goes to Libredirect
Just recently added Libredirect.
Dumb question - if you have multiple instances listed for a specific service - how do you select between the two?
I might expect that when I right click on a link to open in a new tab I would see which instance to specify.
I don't see any way to choose which instance to load. I expected it to at least choose the one with the best ping automatically, but it's either random or just goes back and forth
Enhancer for youtube, tons of good features. Theming, better player controls. Better ad protection, and ability to default set a video quality
I'll go first, I'm on Firefox btw:
dom.webnotifications.enabled(inabout:config): If you disable it it will get rid of those annoying notification pop-ups.Does that include the "log in with your Google account" on certain sites?
Nitter Redirect because Twitter makes you log in if you're just trying to browse.
For example, if you have Nitter Redirect and go to https://twitter.com/DrLongissimus/status/1474279234239619087 , it will redirect you to https://nitter.net/DrLongissimus/status/1474279234239619087
More generally, just use Libredirect and avoid using a ton of important but shitty websites. Breezewiki in particular is fantastic, so much faster than Fandom and it'll redirect you to a game's actual official wiki since Fandom SEO's itself to the top even when it has shitty misinformation and isn't maintained.
There's a couple I use a lot at work that haven't been mentioned yet:
Simple Tab Groups is basically multiple workspaces for Firefox. So I can have all my tabs for one project all grouped together.
Firefox Multi-Account Containers lets you create sandboxed sessions. If you ever need to be logged in to the same site for both Prod and Dev at the same time this makes it easy. Also if you're trying to diagnose session issues it's nice to be able to keep things separate. This is add-on that kept me using Firefox even back when it performed worse than Chrome and Google wasn't as openly evil.
The Hypothesis toolbar. It adds a comment section to any webpage simply by existing. All those times someone blocked you or COPPA removed YouTube comments is no longer an issue.
One that hasn’t been mentioned is I don’t care about cookies. Or something to that name. With it on your never see cookie setting notifications. I’m not super sure if it rejects them all or accepts them all. But it’s nice to not worry about it
