I’ll make a list of them and periodically update it, depending on their overall ranking in the comment section here.
- uBlock Origin
- Dark Reader , No Script
uBlock Origin
NoScript
…and then uBlock Origin 5 more times.
If this wasn’t the top comment, it would have ruined my day
As with everyone else, I agree that Ublock origin is the first wonder of the world.
Also up there however is just password managers in general, be that bitwarden, lastpass, protonpass, etc…
- ublock Origin
- NoScript
- Tree Style Tab
- Privacy Badger
- HTTPS Everywhere
- Plasma Integration
Yes.
Tree Style Tab does not get enough mention here. It’s a much better way to display a tablist.
XClear and TabMixPlus are up there too.
- Bypass paywall clean d
- unlock origin
Never needed any other, although i have a few anyways
Add bitwarden and that’s what I have on all my browsers. Skip ads, skip passwords, skip paywalls — it’s like the internet of old!
Love how you gave uBlock Origin as a starter already, so we don’t need to repeat that obvious champion over and over again, yet almost nobody can take a hint.
- uBlock Origin
- SponsorBlock
- Consent-O-Matic
I don’t even have 7 extensions enabled in my main browser. I have:
- uBlock Origin
- Multi-Account Containers
- Temporary Containers
- KeePassXC
- Return youtube dislike
Other than uBlock Origin, I don’t think they are worthy of “Wonder of the world” status.
Why Return YouTube Dislike? Isn’t lowest/no engagement more effective these days.
I wouldn’t need the extension for pressing the button. I have it to see the number.
uBlock Origin, duh.
Privacy Badger.
Mouse Gestures (any of them, there’s multiple).
Reader view, because sometimes all you need is the text, in a pleasantly readable format.
- uBlock Origin. full stop
- leechblock for (attempting) to stay focused
- Zotero is also pretty nifty if you have a lot of sources/ writing a paper, but I’m not sure it would be one of the seven best
I think a chrome update nixed it, but I used the heck out of Imagus. All it does is expand to a full size image when you hover over an image on a website.
I really need to get that working again. I’m constantly hovering over images for no reason still.
Can’t live without it! Works on Firefox if that’s an option for you.
One Tab
I prefer Adnauseam over uBlock Origin.
It uses uBlock Origin as a base, but extends it to click on ads in addition to blocking them.
UBlock Origin
Consent o matic
Chrome MaskIf anyone is still following this post, I just came across TrackerControl for Android.
It finds all tracker traffic in installed apps and blocks it! It even blocks in-app ads!
It blows my mind, had been hoping for such an app for ages!
It might take some tweaking for some apps to function properly, but it is pretty self explanatory.
Beats every app I’ve ever come across! 🤍
