What browser extensions do you use that you'd recommend to others?

Do you contribute to any FOSS browser extension projects?

Are there any non-FOSS extensions that you wish had a sufficient FOSS alternative?

uBlock Origin, Bypass Paywalls Clean, Bitwarden, and SponsorBlock for YouTube are my favorite ones.

I cannot stand SponsorBlock anymore. It's been abused so much, that any time any video even slightly mentions a brand, sponsor or not, it skips it.

I find that it breaks context in a lot of videos, and you end up missing important stuff. I especially find it to be true in LTT videos.

For me, SponsorBlock is disabled until they fix the abuse. There's a very clear difference between a SPONSOR and just mentioning an entity that exists on this planet.

Bad segments are definitely a problem. At least for the channels I watch, the sponsor segments tend to be well done, but for other categories there's often weird segments. Manual skip is still quite useful though.
