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...
Much nice I think, but had some bugs with sessions sometimes.
- Timelense preview for youtube: https://timelens.io/youtube/ (needs greasemonkey or something)
- Opens pdfs in my pdf reader right away: https://add0n.com/open-in.html?from=pdf (invert sumatra pdf on windows and you even have a dark mode: "...\SumatraPDF.exe" -bg-color #000000 -set-color-range #FFFFFF #000000 )
- (there is also one to open in chrome, really good if you are using FF but need to use google products like meet or jamboard)
- TTS with amazon polly support (if you have an AWS account): https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/read-aloud-a-text-...
- oh and mouse users should always scroll my dragging right-click IMO :) https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/scroll_anywhe...
- adblock for youtube sponsored bla bla within the video https://sponsor.ajay.app/
- backup what you typed in form fields: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/textarea-cach...
- stylish if you know CSS. I made wikipedia look more like the mobile version, make visited links visible globally, hide jira crap for sprint plannings etc.
- for good keyboard hint navigation: trydactyl (but saka keys is probably more beginner friendly)
- Show which links are fresh on news sites (e.g. on HN). FF only for now though. Just published it myself: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/developers/addon/seen-it-al....
I recently deleted all of my extension off all three browsers (Chrome, Firefox, and Safari). The ad blocking on Firefox is almost as good as Ublock Origin. I found privacy badger to be largely useless. The only thing I miss is lastpass, but I've gotten used to having it run as a desktop app. Containers in Firefox were nice, but I've also gotten used to switching accounts. The fact that extensions get 100% access to e…
You still have to trust your browser and your OS.
I trust my browser and OS more than extensions.
Your security posture is probably different than mine.

Google makes money from websites showing ads, so making a reader mode readily available would be counter to that. There used to be a hacky way to approximate reader mode in Chrome [1] but not sure if that still works. Just another reason to favor Firefox over Chrome IMO. Google will always give only enough privacy options to give the veneer of supporting privacy, but never enough to truly allow it (e.g., anti-fingerp…
Yes, Chrome has reader mode. chrome://flags/#enable-reader-mode
Didn't find it in chromium. Might look again.
Since GDPR websites come with the worst UX for cookie consent. If you feel adventerous and want to ignore cookie popups. I can recommend: https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/i-dont-care-about-...
Or use uBo's element picker. One time job
I just use uBlock Origin to clean up websites I visit of their trending sections, recommendation sections, comment sections. Sometimes I get rid of links that I might mindlessly click, like the whole top bar of reddit.com. For example, these filters work really well on youtube.com youtube.com##.ytp-pause-overlay youtube.com##.ytp-suggestion-set youtube.com##.ytp-endscreen-content youtube.com###related
Do you have more of this? Perhaps on a github gist?
My Youtube list. No recommened videos on the side, unless playing a music or video playlist.
No other crap, signin prompts, etc
That’s an insane amount of extensions, most of which seems to deal with fixing “broken” website or at least make them tolerable. Reader mode is a little surprising, doesn’t Chrome have that built in?
I have seen it a few times, but only on mobile IIRC and it wasn't consistently shown across all pages where I wanted the functionality. I definitely can't seem to find it anywhere on desktop Chrome.

Obviously. That's why I said "I have to draw the line somewhere". I trust my browser and OS more than extensions. Your security posture is probably different than mine.
Bonus point if you download the extensions and manually review it yourself.
