What would you consider to be the 7 browser extension Wonders of the World/Internet?
-
I only have two; uBlock Origin and Firefox Multi-Account Containers.
Those are the only two I use all the time (I like to keep things clean and simple and avoid fingerprinting, there are others that I might enable for a specific task), and I consider them essential enough that they ought to be built into the browser.
wrote last edited by [email protected]I also use Temporary containers for all the sites I don't explicitly assign to a persistent container. How do you handle this? Is there a way to delete cookies just for the default (non) containers? Is there a way to fully isolate the sites in the default one?

What I do is have cookies set to delete by default on closing the browser, with a managed list of exceptions of sites I want to preserve.

I forgot exceptions from delete on close were a thing. Thanks.

As with everyone else, I agree that Ublock origin is the first wonder of the world.
Also up there however is just password managers in general, be that bitwarden, lastpass, protonpass, etc...
I have never had more and safer passwords without any hassle, than since using Vaultwarden as a passwordsafe (there are many instances offerd without cost) in combination with Bitwarden extension in my browsers and the app on my phone.
It's so incredibly easy to use.

I don't even have 7 extensions enabled in my main browser. I have:
- uBlock Origin
- Multi-Account Containers
- Temporary Containers
- KeePassXC
- Return youtube dislike
Other than uBlock Origin, I don't think they are worthy of "Wonder of the world" status.
Why Return YouTube Dislike? Isn't lowest/no engagement more effective these days.

I'll make a list of them and periodically update it, depending on their overall ranking in the comment section here.
- uBlock Origin
- Dark Reader , No Script
I think a chrome update nixed it, but I used the heck out of Imagus. All it does is expand to a full size image when you hover over an image on a website.
I really need to get that working again. I'm constantly hovering over images for no reason still.

I prefer Adnauseam over uBlock Origin.
It uses uBlock Origin as a base, but extends it to click on ads in addition to blocking them.

Is this similar to TamperMonkey? (i.e. userscripts)
I don't know what I'd do without it!
I don't know about ViolentMonkey (sounds like a TamperMonkey variant?) but I use Stylus and yes it does the same things as TamperMonkey.

I wouldn't need the extension for pressing the button. I have it to see the number.

Can't live without it! Works on Firefox if that's an option for you.

Yes it is! I switched to it after seeing some questions about things TamperMonkey was doing, given that it is (or at least was at the time) closed source.

Interesting! I had no idea. Thank you!

I couldn’t live without FoxyGestures (formerly FireGeatures) anymore. I’ve been using it for over 15 years.

Just found a new one that works wonders: Click to Remove Element.
Never seen anything so precise and clear to hide unwanted elements. And it can remember for future sessions. Awesome!
