Here are my favorite Firefox extensions—these are a mix of essentials I can’t live without, privacy tools, and some that just make browsing a lot easier:

Essentials:

uBlock Origin: The best adblocker out there. It’s fast and blocks ads, trackers, and more, which keeps things running smoothly. KeePassXC-Browser: Integrates KeePassXC to auto-fill passwords—super handy so I don’t have to type anything in manually. To Google Translate: Great for quick translations. Just highlight text, right-click, and you’re good to go.

Privacy & Security:

ClearURLs: Cleans up tracking elements from URLs, so when I share a link, it’s cleaner and more private. Firefox Relay: Creates alias emails to protect my real address, helping keep spam away. Privacy Badger: Blocks trackers automatically as I browse—set it and forget it. LocalCDN: Prevents my browser from connecting to third-party servers unnecessarily by using local resources instead. Consent-O-Matic: Fills in those annoying cookie consent forms for me, saving time while keeping my privacy settings intact.

Enhancements:

Dark Reader: Turns on dark mode for websites, perfect for late-night browsing. Augmented Steam: Improves the Steam store by showing better prices, deals, and user reviews. FoxScroller: Auto-scrolls pages, so I don’t have to keep manually scrolling long articles or threads. Save Page WE: Saves web pages as HTML, which is awesome for viewing them offline or archiving stuff. Download All Images: Lets me bulk download all images from a webpage—super useful. Simple Tab Groups: Keeps my tabs organized in groups so my sessions don’t get messy. Plasma Integration: Integrates Firefox with my KDE Plasma desktop for native notifications and media controls. Add custom search engine: Lets me add any site’s search bar to Firefox as a custom search engine for quicker searches. I mainly use this for SearXNG.

VPN:

Windscribe: My VPN extension for a secure connection with just one click.
