What are your favorite browser extensions? (beehaw.org)

What browser extensions do you use that you'd recommend to others?

Do you contribute to any FOSS browser extension projects?

Are there any non-FOSS extensions that you wish had a sufficient FOSS alternative?

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 - as ad and script blocker

Dark Reader - for dark mode on every site

Sidebery - for tab management

FoxyProxy in addition to many aforementioned extensions. Tor and popular VPNs just don't work in my whereabouts, so, I have to use something more sophisticated like shadowsocks, for example, in order to circumvent government censorship and geoblocks.

I'm not sure what good it could do in the US but I'm happy it helps you, assuming you're using it in an ethically sound manner.

I'm on Firefox: uBlock Origin, DuckDuckGo Privacy Essentials, Keepa - Amazon Price Tracker (excellent tool if you use Amazon, I also use the cell app), Privacy Badger, AdNauseam, and Mullvad Browser Extension (I use their VPN on my PC and phone). Others that I have installed but am admittedly not as familiar with: Decentraleyes, and Web Archives.

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.
