  • The SingleFile extension. It saves the current webpage you're looking at, including all images as a single webpage that you can view offline.

  • Ublock Origin, NoScript, Chameleon, Libredirect, DarkReader, OneTab, Stack Overflow Prettifier, Classic Mode For Wikipedia, Vimium

  • ::: spoiler My list of extensions

    • Imagus - displays bigger image when hovered over (Imagus Mod recommended);
    • Sponsor Block - Skips promotions on YT videos;
    • TOS;DR - summarizes TOS and Privacy Policies;
    • Cookie Autodelete - erases cookies when you close a tab, can make you log out regularly if you don't put an website on a whitelist, though.
    • Dark Reader - changes the page CSS and creates a dark mode version of any page, while it isn't always 100% perfect, it has many useful configurations, like whitelisting websites OR words on them, changing to a light mode, but less bright version of it, setting up the time that it activates, and a few more.
    • Open tabs next to current/Always Right - What the names says, 2 different extensions, but on Chrome I prefer to combine them.
    • Wayback Machine - has an option to auto archive, can bring you to oldest or newest versions of websites and links.
    • Search Image - gives you 6 or so options to search for an image online, kind of combines with Imagus.
    • uBlock Origin - the best ad blocker so far, browsers with built in adblock use it.
    • Privacy Badger - blocks hidden trackers once it sees then on 3 different websites
    • WhatFont - displays the font name in a popup, this is more a personal thing, but I enjoy it.
    • Anti fingerprinting extensions can possibly help.

    This is a long list, but these are one of the extensions that I have and I most value, there are some otherb too, but those are more aesthetic than anything. :::

  • These are a bit unique from the lists everyone else has, I think:

    • Lemmy Keyboard Navigation (like the kbd shortcuts from RES)
    • Google Popup Blocker (stop the annoying log in with Google popups everywhere on the web)
    • OneTab (this one lets you collapse a whole window of tabs down into a list in the OneTab tab that you can later reexpand into a window again when you re-attack whatever subject all the tabs were about)

    These are the more standard ones that everyone seems to run:

    • UBlock Origin
    • Reddit Enhancement Suite
    • 2FAS Extension
    • BitWarden

  • Don't know if the other browsers have it, but I use Marker by robin-rpr on Firefox desktop. Simple Enough extension for being able to draw/annotate/highlight on browser screen. Was doing some college work in class and wanted to be able to quickly write out and convert binary. Helped so much to be able to do it in browser so I could easily see the numbers.

    Though, it was last updated October 22, 2022, so keep that in mind if you're like me and don't always like using software that's more than a few years old (games not included). The alternative I saw (Web Marker by SFer) is under an "All Rights Reserved" license, but was updated last month (June 8th), so pick your poison.

  • Wayback Machine and also archive.is's addons. I archive webpages frequently so they're super helpful. And if a webpage has been taken down you can easily go to an archived version with the Wayback addon.

    Also, Vimium C. Not for everyone and definitely down to personal preference rather than "I recommend this to everyone", but I'd struggle to browse the web comfortably without it.

  • Foxy Gestures. I love having mouse gestures for Close Tabs on Right, Back, and Close Tab, amongst other.

    Zoom Page WE, automatically zoom to full width. Really useful for "convergence" pages, ie: lazy web developers that think every browser wants a 4 word wide column. You have to set "Automatically Zoom" in preferences, it doesn't work out of the box.

  • I use uBlock Origin, Malwarebytes, Privacy Badger, Bitdefender's Trafficlight and Simple Translate.

    The last one is useful for translating selected text.
