UBlock Origin, Volume Master, Tampermonkey... All the others are just a +
I used to be in the Matrix and escaped, but reality was too scary, so now here I am...

Of course! I can see the effort you put into this. Starred!
Ublock (it's better than adblock).
Perplexity's AI browser, Comet.

Gosh. Between them going offline 24/7 to their lazy team and even to the community full of imbreds on their official community IM server that seem to lack any common sense, let alone brain cells; it is the best agent I've used! Let's not forget about the fact that it has access to control each and every aspect of your data to propagate the LLM to properly function by calling on advanced callstacks that contain sensitive user information that can be used to gain access to saved passwords. My favorite part was watching the developers play it off like it never happened with their head up their asses while their secevop team allowed a severe CVE to remain persistent long enough to screw a lot of people over.

I understand how cool some of the automation is and know it will be successful in the future but we were not ready for an AI based web browser like this.
uBlock origin is essential.
I hate seeing pop-up ads everywhere.

If I remember correctly google outlawed it because of Youtube. It's still available on Firefox and Opera.

You can still use it by loading an older Manifest V2 version, but Google breaks it again every couple of months with updates. People always find ways around it, but honestly it’s not worth the hassle; just switch browsers.

However, Chrome still has a Lite version.
Ad blocker
It has to be grammarly for me
A recent one I've been using and enjoy is Privacy Badger. Bare bones but gets rid of just about all the shit that sites force on you.

I'll have to go find it but I disabled it for now and don't remember at the top of my head, but honorable mention is the one that mass-clicks on ads and acts like you viewed it, solely for the purpose of wasting big company advertiser money and screwing their CPC numbers lol


I see people here mentioning password manager extensions. I have been thinking of one, but how in the world do you manage to log into places on other devices that may not have your extension as an option? Like I go to a hotel and want to login to Hulu and don't remember my 20 character password aha.
