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!

      LanguageTool is super cool because you can run it locally! I love it because of that, alone.

      LanguageTool

      I’ll have to look into that. I’ve always liked the idea of Grammarly, but it seemed like I was basically downloading a keylogger, which seemed… unwise, lol.

      Can y’all point me in the right direction on why grammarly is shady? Maybe that premium account was a bad idea, but I’ve loved it for the last few years to help me be a better writer.

        I’d say mainly privacy concerns. Everything you type is sent to Grammarly servers. I’m not sure what is done with that data.
