So we have "Buster: Captcha Solver for Humans", "uBlock Origin" and what is the last one?

View on HN

SponsorBlock?

I had no idea this extension existed, thanks a lot!

That is some ingenious bait for HN readers! Of course everyone is going to passionately defend their favourite.

(Mine is, of course, tree style tabs - I could never manage without it.)

Go on then. I'll play. My 'must have' half dozen which get installed first, on every browser on every device I use:

* Bitwarden

* HTTPS everywhere

* Privacy Badger/Possum/Other Furry Animal

* uBlock Origin

* uMatrix

* Windscribe

> HTTPS everywhere

Not anymore, firefox has it by default now, just gotta turn a setting on.

> uMatrix

Sadly this is dead, I guess I'll switch to a fork once I have time to figure out who does what.

  >Not anymore, firefox has it by default now, just gotta turn a setting on.

I don't use Firefox as my main browser. I use Yandex. I do sometimes wonder if HTTPS everywhere is becoming a bit redundant these days anyway. Most sites seem to have moved to HTTPS these days.

  >Sadly this [uMatrix] is dead

Yes, that's a shame. It still works though. Hopefully whoever takes on the task of keeping it alive via a fork will make it a bit more mobile friendly. [The same could be said about uBlock Origin]

For me, it's Dark Reader. I can't browse the web without it.

NoScript would be up there for me, or else Bitwarden.

"I don't care about cookies"?

uMatrix

TabMixPlus of course.

Lastpass for me

Imagus, Bypass Paywalls, and Tampermonkey.
