* ublock origin - doesn't need introduction

* forget me not - cleans cookies

* stylus - some sites are too bright

* clearURLs - remove tracking from urls

* I don't care about cookies - also gets rid a lot of popup annoyances

* skip redirect - avoid going through 3rd party to get to a link

* redirector - redirect sites to nitter, teddit, bibliogram, etc

I also use firefox containers.

> redirector

seems to be out of date. a more up to date version would be "privacy redirect".

No, those two are not the same thing. Redirector can redirect anything based on regex, privacy redirect is for fixed services at the moment.
