Browser extensions greatly improve our browsing experience. For me: Dark Reader, uBlock Origin, Privacy Badger, Tampermonkey, OneTab, and password manager are my must have, how about you?

I mostly use the dark theme. And that one that allows the youtube to play in the background

I use Custom Stylesheet & Script to alter my HN experience a bit, along with some other sites.

I'd vote for tampermonkey. If you learn how to use it well it's almost like a new superpower.

Tab exporters (to plain-text)!

I use Tabitha for Safari, but there are plenty of different options for each browser.

I find that it's super easy to clean up my tabs by dumping them to my plain-text notes.
