Browser Extensions I Can't Live Without

Hmm, that's a long list. I use zero extensions, and I've never really had the urge to go looking for them. Now I feel like a weirdo ;)

That is quite a list. Some of the choices I don't agree with. For me the first thing I install though is Ublock Origin. Can't use the web without it.

uBlock is a godsend indeed. Which ones do you disagree with, and why?

Not commenter you were replying to, but...

Honestly, most of them. Grammarly in particular because of privacy concerns, but I avoid using any that are not both open source and high payoff.

I use Privacy Badger and NoScript. I may add Ublock Origin to cover the edge cases where I need to enable JS. Anything else is adding bloat, not cutting back on it.

NoScript in particular covers: UBlock Origin, Nano Defender, Hover+Unpaywall, and ShutUp

Most of the others, I already use something outside of a browser or don't need.
