Ublock Origin is an obvious one, but I also can’t stand not having Foxy Gestures anymore. It adds customizable mouse gestures, so you can set it up to have easy swipes to go back a page, reload a page, close a tab, etc, and it feels wonderful and smooth to use compared to just using the traditional buttons to do everything. Honestly it’s kinda wild to me that this isn’t more popular now that people are so used to phone gestures. It’s good for the same reasons!

    Mandatory:

    • Dark Reader for dark mode anywhere, and Invert Colors for the occasions when a site is not usable with Dark Reader.
    • Ublock Origin of course, but I also still use uMatrix because even several years after it stopped being maintained, it’s STILL unmatched by any other addon in the content-blocker category. The granularity of being able to specifically allow scripts or frames or images or cookies from specific third-party domains or subdomains either everywhere or only on certain first-party domains, with a very intuitive visual grid (matrix) and subdomain selection, is incredible. I still don’t understand why it’s deprecated.
    • Tree Style Tab and the related Tab Unloader. I forget things exist if they aren’t right in front of me, so if I have any intention of coming back to a site or a workflow, I need those tabs somewhere in front of me, tucked away in a tree waiting for me to get back to them. I regularly have between 100-200 tabs open. Being able to unload performance-heavy tabs without restarting the whole browser also helps a lot.
    • Bitwarden because if you aren’t using some kind of password manager, do you even care about security?
    • Translate Web Pages because not everything I want to read is in English

    Nice to haves:
