Browser Extensions I Can't Live Without

On the off-chance that someone reads this and may find it useful, here are my most useful Firefox extensions:

Firefox Container Tabs. Allows me to have multiple office or gmail logins, amazon AWS console sessions, etc etc. And one to keep Facebook walled off in its own little prison. https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/multi-account...

SingleFile. Allows me to save a snapshot of a page when I bookmark it (or at any other time). This means that when I encounter a page, I can automatically archive a copy to read later without worrying if the author will delete it, or the site will be unavailable. https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/single-file/?...

Default Bookmark Folder. Always save new bookmarks to the same place, which is useful for keeping stuff together. I tag my bookmarks when I make them too, to make finding them again much easier. https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/default-bookm...

Eno from Capital One. Lets me make a unique credit card for each site I buy from, so I can instantly tell if something is wrong if I see a bad charge. https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/capital-one-e...

Tampermonkey. This lets me have a dark mode for Google search, and a bunch of other useful scripts. https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/tampermonkey/

Thanks! Following your tips I found the Chrome equivalent (https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/sessionbox-free-mu...), but not sure how good it's compared to Firefox Container Tabs

There's also greasemonkey [0] and violentmonkey [1].

True that. I forgot why I settled on Tampermonkey, and I think all 3 can use the same scripts.

I would recommend privacy.com over Eno, though I have not used eno

Cool! I hadn't heard of that site before, I'll have to give it a go.

Is there an automated way with SingleFile to save new bookmarks or you do it manually? Can't find it but it'd be super useful.

It should be in preferences somewhere. Let me grab a screenshot: https://imgur.com/3hM8J0y

It's under "Misc" in the options, not "Auto-save"

I was looking on the Auto-save section. Thank you very much :)
