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!

Oh, well, that's too bad. Thank you for pointing this out!

Apparently, there is now a debloated fork "I still don't care about cookies" but the last update was in February and the issues are all open.

Why fork?

This extension has been acquired by Avast and I simply don't trust Avast with my data. Additionally, having it on Github allows us to improve the code and add support for websites faster.

UPD: @nonsense@beehaw.org has mentioned a great alternative called Consent-O-Matic (MIT License)
