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!

I run Firefox

  • AdNauseam (One step further than uBlock Origin, it actively clicks everything that missed my DNS blocks)
  • Bitwarden
  • Decentraleyes
  • Enhance-O-Tron for Plex (For some reason some videos in my library have black bars hard coded into them. I could probably re-encode them to get rid of the bars, but this add-on just hides the bars at a button click. It's only a problem for monitors wider than 16:9)
  • Enhancer for Youtube (TM) (Automatically expand the canvas out to the full screen and a bunch of other stuff.)
  • Facebook Container (I don't use facebook, but the containers are nice to keep shit separated)
  • Keepa - Amazon Price Tracker
  • NoScript
  • Redirect AMP to HTML
  • ShareX ( I have workflows that automatically store stuff into my nextcloud and setup share links)
  • SponsorBlock for Youtube - Skip Sponsorships
  • Stylus

I had stuff for Reddit... but since I've moved off the platform, that's been nixed. And for those of you using the cookie accepting apps... Why not just block the element with uBlock?
