I’ll make a list of them and periodically update it, depending on their overall ranking in the comment section here.
- uBlock Origin
- Dark Reader , No Script
uBlock Origin
NoScript
…and then uBlock Origin 5 more times.
If this wasn’t the top comment, it would have ruined my day
As with everyone else, I agree that Ublock origin is the first wonder of the world.
Also up there however is just password managers in general, be that bitwarden, lastpass, protonpass, etc…
-Ublock origin (first place, nonnegotiable)
-Dark reader
Dark reader for the win.
Don’t forget DeArrow!
I’ll add ViolentMonkey (run arbitrary custom script on a site), and Stylus (add custom CSS to a site). These are great for adding extra features/utilities to a site you use a lot, adding dark mode to a website that doesn’t support it, etc.
Is this similar to TamperMonkey? (i.e. userscripts)
I don’t know what I’d do without it!
Yes it is! I switched to it after seeing some questions about things TamperMonkey was doing, given that it is (or at least was at the time) closed source.
Interesting! I had no idea. Thank you!
I don’t know about ViolentMonkey (sounds like a TamperMonkey variant?) but I use Stylus and yes it does the same things as TamperMonkey.
Nice!
- ublock Origin
- NoScript
- Tree Style Tab
- Privacy Badger
- HTTPS Everywhere
- Plasma Integration
You don’t need HTTPS Everywhere anymore by the way, it has native support in Firefox now.
Yes.
Tree Style Tab does not get enough mention here. It’s a much better way to display a tablist.
XClear and TabMixPlus are up there too.
- uBlock Origin
- SponsorBlock
- Consent-O-Matic
uBlock Origin
Dark Reader
FastForward
Search by Image
YomitanI’m not sure what the other two would be.
uBlock Origin, duh.
Privacy Badger.
Mouse Gestures (any of them, there’s multiple).
Reader view, because sometimes all you need is the text, in a pleasantly readable format.
- uBlock Origin. full stop
- leechblock for (attempting) to stay focused
- Zotero is also pretty nifty if you have a lot of sources/ writing a paper, but I’m not sure it would be one of the seven best
Love how you gave uBlock Origin as a starter already, so we don’t need to repeat that obvious champion over and over again, yet almost nobody can take a hint.
I think a chrome update nixed it, but I used the heck out of Imagus. All it does is expand to a full size image when you hover over an image on a website.
I really need to get that working again. I’m constantly hovering over images for no reason still.
Can’t live without it! Works on Firefox if that’s an option for you.
no script, authenticator, bitwarden, power tabs, tab session manager, print friendly, terms of service didn’t read.

Chrome MaskPocket used to be on my list, but it was unfortunately shut down. Now Joplin web clipper took its place. I still miss Pocket.
