I can't live without Tree Style Tabs[0] in Firefox. It's The Thing that finally got me to switch back to FF and I will never look back. 0: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/tree-style-ta...
Imagus to zoom into images maybe? Buster to solve captchas?

KeepassXC is fortunately the only sane password-manager; so; bite your heads off with all the other crap. Bitwarden is a POS over-commercialized POS; use KeepassXC instead. Obvisously not afflitiated with KXC; and certainly not Shitwarden. Good for you that KeepassXC is free; unlike Shitwarden! Have your choices.
If there were ever a post to drive me away from a product, this'd be it. Good to know that I should stay well away from KeepassXC, if this is what its defenders sound like.
There's an incredibly useful extension that's not on that list that I bet a good number of HN folks would like: Vimium [1] It lets you use keyboard shortcuts to navigate through webpages, click buttons, jump to text boxes, etc. it's been huge for me both as a productivity tool (it's significantly faster than using a mouse for navigation) and also for reducing RSI/strain on my hands.

I used to use vimperator and/or pentadactyl back before the big firefox change that redid how the browser buttons/menus/etc were rendered and it was pretty ideal. The bar at the bottom, the ability to do bind any menu action, the quick addon management interface, the beautiful completion when opening a link.

Would add HTTPS Everywhere https://www.eff.org/https-everywhere and NoScript https://noscript.net/ to that list
Does HTTPS Everywhere actually work for you? It's utterly useless for me as far as I can tell. Try going to some site (say, example.net) in Chrome and watch it just load HTTP.
I find that comments are the most entertaining parts of pretty much everything online, especially YouTube.
On the off-chance that someone reads this and may find it useful, here are my most useful Firefox extensions: Firefox Container Tabs. Allows me to have multiple office or gmail logins, amazon AWS console sessions, etc etc. And one to keep Facebook walled off in its own little prison. https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/multi-account... SingleFile. Allows me to save a snapshot of a page when I bookmark it (…
There's also greasemonkey [0] and violentmonkey [1]. [0] https://www.greasespot.net/ [1] https://github.com/violentmonkey/violentmonkey
I use AdBlock and LastPass, and maybe a clipper—Notion, Instapaper. But other than that, I’ve found more extensions make me less able to focus on getting stuff done, and much more focused on whether I’m using the ‘right’ tool
In the post: "Shut Up disables comments everywhere. When I trust a platform's audience enough to read the unfiltered outputs from their brains, I enable comments for just that site. Sometimes I turn it back off immediately" At the end of the post: A comments section with spam in it.
You know, if he can't see it, maybe he forgot it was there? That would be an amusing side effect.
