https://closetab.email - delivers a digest of your bookmarks to your inbox every monday. Helps me defer content from HN turning into a bunch of unclosed tabs in my browser.

OneTab. Good for saving tabs, but equally handy for opening a whole bunch of URLs at once.

I stopped using NoScript because the micromanagement of domain names simply took too much time. I rely on Pi-hole to fill that gap somewhat. To answer your question (Firefox on desktop and mobile): - uBlock Origin - Privacy Badger - HTTPS Everywhere - Enhancer for YouTube - Multi-account Containers - Owl

Also on Firefox. It appears that I'm not as privacy/security conscious as are most in this thread, but I heartily second HTTPS Everywhere. However, the single Firefox extension that's indispensable to me is Tree Style Tabs. See: https://github.com/piroor/treestyletab . Is it possible (for a Web page hoarder like me) to organize and access 500+ tabs across seven Firefox windows? You betcha it is, with Tree Style Tabs.

I've played with Tree Style Tabs, but it seems like there's some configuration required for the optimal result. So I ask: have you done any configuration changes to it?
