Looking at the comments, interest in privacy and adblocking seem high. But the actual addons suggested here are often redundant or even worse, make you easier to track. Instead, take a look at the Arkenfox wiki, which is more or less the gold standard for browser privacy. Both LibreWolf and Mullvad Browser, practically the most privacy/anonymity oriented browsers out there, right behind Tor, either rely on it or stick very closely to it.
I highly recommend reading the entire wiki from the start. You dont have to do everything it says, obviously, but even if you dont do anything it will give you a better understanding of browser privacy. And lastly, do not use Chrome or any chromium based browser if you care about privacy and a free and open internet. Even if you only use a chromium based browser, you help increase googles monopoly.

More than I feel makes sense to post TBH. But a few important ones (for Firefox):

uBlock Origin
Sidebery to get my tabs in a vertical tree; if you often have more than 10-15 tabs I really recommend this!
Bitwarden (password manager)
Checker Plus for Gmail + Checker Plus for Google Calendar, easy-access email/calendar in a small window, I very rarely actually go to gmail.com
Return YouTube Dislike
Tampermonkey for userscripts on Kbin
Video Speed Controller, I use numpad +/- to increase/decrease speed by 0.25x, works basically everywhere including YouTube

[-] Clairvoidance@kbin.social 0 points 1 year ago

Browser: Firefox, gonna name stuff i don't see mentioned yet


'Multi Account Containers' + 'Container Tabs Sidebar' + 'Switch Container' + 'Temporary Containers' + ~~'don't care about cookies'~~ 'Consent-o-matic'
basically allows you to easily have multiple accounts on websites while also making sure everything stays contained to its own bubble, and anything I don't have a dedicated container for gets a temporary container that deletes the cookies after a bit ~~in order for me to both not care about cookies and also not get any cookies.~~ at this point mostly because I don't like accidentally having an account on a non-contained instance

ff2mpv - easily launch videos in mpv, requires a bit of setup

Image Search Options - finding the source of most drawings, spotting which anime a clip is from etc

Yomichan for quick access to locally installed dictionaries (for Japanese in this case)
Toggle Clipboard
