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?

I'm on Firefox: uBlock Origin, DuckDuckGo Privacy Essentials, Keepa - Amazon Price Tracker (excellent tool if you use Amazon, I also use the cell app), Privacy Badger, AdNauseam, and Mullvad Browser Extension (I use their VPN on my PC and phone). Others that I have installed but am admittedly not as familiar with: Decentraleyes, and Web Archives.

I use the following ones (on Firefox), except for uBO the others are just for conveniency:

  • Bitwarden
  • Gesturefy (for some time from early 2021 to late 2022 I used to use Vivaldi as my primary browser and now if I'm using a mouse, not having gestures in a browser feels odd...)
  • LibRedirect
  • Plasma Integration
  • uBlock Origin (middle mode and with some additional lists)
  • User-Agent Switcher and Manager (if I find a site that says it doesn't work with Firefox).

uBlock Origin - as ad and script blocker

Dark Reader - for dark mode on every site

Sidebery - for tab management

  • Facebook Container (LW only)
  • FoxyProxy (LW only; not FOSS)
  • AnonAddy
  • Load Progress Bar (LW only)

People really like their down votes on YouTube. I've rarely up votes or down votes any YouTube videos myself.

What does Ruffle do?

It's a Flash emulator. My school still uses Shockwave Flash files for interactive diagrams and suchlike.

I'm so sorry you have to deal with that.
