Ublock Origin is an obvious one, but I also can’t stand not having Foxy Gestures anymore. It adds customizable mouse gestures, so you can set it up to have easy swipes to go back a page, reload a page, close a tab, etc, and it feels wonderful and smooth to use compared to just using the traditional buttons to do everything. Honestly it’s kinda wild to me that this isn’t more popular now that people are so used to phone gestures. It’s good for the same reasons!

    can’t live without:

    • uBlock (goes without saying)
    • Startpage Privacy (I’ve also used Privacy Badger, giving this one a try and it seems to work well)
    • Vimium (browse using vim shortcuts)
    • New Window Without Toolbar (does what it says; opens the current page in a new window without any toolbar at all, nice minimal look)
    • New Tab Override (so new tabs land on my personal landing page, not the Firefox home or blank)

    That’s it really, my needs are simple.

    Also, TIL about “I don’t care about cookies” so I’m tempted to install that, but I do sort of care about cookies… but I also clear them relatively frequently, so it’s probably fine.
