Could mean essentials you wouldn’t want to live without, neat little things you just found, all time favorites— really whatever comes to mind.
Sponsorblock and blocktube.
Sponsorblock lets users designate when there are ad reads on YouTube and will automatically skip over them.
Blocktube allows you to block YouTube channels wholesale so you don’t have to see people like Mr. Beasts stupid face if you open a private window or some such
the cause is good but look at the permissions it seems like they sell your ad data, seems kinda sketch
uBO of course.

Dark Reader - Seriously why can’t more sites have a “don’t blind me” mode in this day and age.

Swift Selection Search - It has a little configurable pop up whenever you highlight a word so you can send it to any number of destinations… search web, search youtube, search imdb, send to translate, look in wikipedia… you just build the search function in the extension and it becomes a little icon in the dialog box.

uBo - besides the obvious, it’s good for eliminating unwanted design elements from a site.

Simple Tab Groups - it lets you define groups of tabs as sort of work spaces. I have ones for cooking, working, hobbies… you just configure what you want and dump all the tabs you want into it then you can switch to them like presets. Very handy when you open lots of stuff for a project.

Auto Tab Discard - gives much more granular control of what tabs are slept or set to never time out and how quickly they do that. Good for keeping memory footprint lower if you use a lot of tabs.

Augmented Steam - links to isthereanydeal.com so that whenever I’m viewing steam pages on browser for a game, it’s showing me all the current best deals from sellers.

ScrollAnywhere - more robust click to scroll feature. Let’s me use a button to scroll and pan sites more like a touchscreen device while using my mouse.

BitWarden - cross platform open source password manager

regarding dark reader-- you can set your browser to let sites know to switch to dark mode, in case you haven’t already done that
Yeah… but they have to have a dark mode to switch to and unfortunately many don’t… which is why I need a plugin.
