My favourites for Firefox:
- uBlock Origin
- Deadname Remover
- Bitwarden
- Return YouTube Dislike
- SponsorBlock
On LibreWolf and Brave, I use:
- uBlock Origin
- Privacy Badger
- BitWarden
- Decentraleyes
- Redirector
- Facebook Container (LW only)
- FoxyProxy (LW only; not FOSS)
- AnonAddy
- Load Progress Bar (LW only)
- Xtreme Download Manager
- SponsorBlock
- Return YouTube Dislike (redundant, since I use CloudTube, but good to have nonetheless)
- Facebook Container (LW only)
- Ruffle
- ClearURLs
- FlagFox (LW only)
People really like their down votes on YouTube. I've rarely up votes or down votes any YouTube videos myself.
What does Ruffle do?
It's a Flash emulator. My school still uses Shockwave Flash files for interactive diagrams and suchlike.
I'm so sorry you have to deal with that.
I use the following ones (on Firefox), except for uBO the others are just for conveniency:
- Bitwarden
- Gesturefy (for some time from early 2021 to late 2022 I used to use Vivaldi as my primary browser and now if I'm using a mouse, not having gestures in a browser feels odd...)
- LibRedirect
- Plasma Integration
- uBlock Origin (middle mode and with some additional lists)
- User-Agent Switcher and Manager (if I find a site that says it doesn't work with Firefox).
uBlock Origin, Bypass Paywalls Clean, Bitwarden, and SponsorBlock for YouTube are my favorite ones.
I cannot stand SponsorBlock anymore. It's been abused so much, that any time any video even slightly mentions a brand, sponsor or not, it skips it.
I find that it breaks context in a lot of videos, and you end up missing important stuff. I especially find it to be true in LTT videos.
For me, SponsorBlock is disabled until they fix the abuse. There's a very clear difference between a SPONSOR and just mentioning an entity that exists on this planet.

Sponsorblock really helps me, since I watch a lot of YT and even though I have Premium, I’m otherwise still getting ads

⦿Swift Selection Search

On Safari I use AdGuard (because uBlock Origin is not available), Bitwarden and Zotero Connector.
On Firefox uBlock Origin, Bitwarden, Zotero Connector, Cookie Autodelete, Libredirect and LocalCDN
Ublock Origin, Ghostery, Decentraleyes, and that duckkduckgothing are what I use to avoid the complete BS on most sites on firefox lately.
Doesn't uBlock Origin with the right filter lists make Ghostery redundant?
@ericjmorey
I use @bitwarden and Language Tool.
you can also self-host a language tool instance and point the extension to that instead of their official instance.
