    uBlock Origin

    Everything else is personal preference. Though my honorary mention goes to Libredirect

      uBlock Origin being available in Firefox Android is an absolute game changer.
      Mobile browsing used to be a pain, but now it’s usable again.

      Just recently added Libredirect.

      Dumb question - if you have multiple instances listed for a specific service - how do you select between the two?

      I might expect that when I right click on a link to open in a new tab I would see which instance to specify.

        I don’t see any way to choose which instance to load. I expected it to at least choose the one with the best ping automatically, but it’s either random or just goes back and forth

      AdNauseam is based on uBlock and does some extra stuff as well, in case anybody was curious. Link

    browser.tabs.insertAfterCurrent - stop tabs from opening in weird places

    media.videocontrols.picture-in-picture - stop those annoying pip videos

    Nuke Anything - useful for getting rid of elements that are in the way

    Multi-Account Containers

      Thank you for suggesting nuke anything.

      There used to be an old chrome extension called fuckit that did a similar job but I hadn’t found a replacement since switching to Firefox.

    Enhancer for youtube, tons of good features. Theming, better player controls. Better ad protection, and ability to default set a video quality

    I’ll go first, I’m on Firefox btw:

    dom.webnotifications.enabled (in about:config): If you disable it it will get rid of those annoying notification pop-ups.

      Does that include the “log in with your Google account” on certain sites?

        If you use Ublock (which you should) you can get rid of them with this:

      Isn’t Privacy Badger pretty redundant when you have uBlock Origin already?

        As far as I could tell from others I’ve talked to, no it isn’t. And apparently it can also self learn tracking URLs.

      I’d swap ublock origin with Adnausem. It is built on top of UBO and will mess your digital footprint by clicking on the ads it hides for you.

        TBH, I would rather not even waste the bandwidth sending the requests and just outright block them.

          Plus if it’s clicking on ads for me, does that mean it’s potentially helping to load malware delivered through advertising?

          Think of it this way. Each time an advertiser throws an advert at you and you click on the advert, the advertiser gets charged.

    The Hypothesis toolbar. It adds a comment section to any webpage simply by existing. All those times someone blocked you or COPPA removed YouTube comments is no longer an issue.

    There’s a couple I use a lot at work that haven’t been mentioned yet:

    Simple Tab Groups is basically multiple workspaces for Firefox. So I can have all my tabs for one project all grouped together.

    Firefox Multi-Account Containers lets you create sandboxed sessions. If you ever need to be logged in to the same site for both Prod and Dev at the same time this makes it easy. Also if you’re trying to diagnose session issues it’s nice to be able to keep things separate. This is add-on that kept me using Firefox even back when it performed worse than Chrome and Google wasn’t as openly evil.

    One that hasn’t been mentioned is I don’t care about cookies. Or something to that name. With it on your never see cookie setting notifications. I’m not super sure if it rejects them all or accepts them all. But it’s nice to not worry about it
