So, aside from the ad block everyone loves and I don't have the characters to type, what do we recommend?
Consent-O-Matic (has to be downloaded from the main website, and not the android sub category)
And what you wish to have other than that depends on your needs.
I myself have an extension to unlock Bing AI on Firefox android.
Google Search Fixer (for when I need a Google service)
TWP - Translate Web Pages
And more.
Web archives Bypass Paywalls Clean ClearURL View Page Source (I'm seriously surprised it's not a basic feature.)
Redirect AMP to HTML if you hate amp like me
NoScript
uBlock Origin
Dark Reader
A bit niche, but I love Shinigami Eye. It highlights trans-friendly sites and profiles in green and transphobic ones in red.

Dark reader was already available before this.
Dark reader is amazing but I have seen a noticeable impact on page load times from time to time.
Not only load time, some sites have really bad performance with it, i just stop using the handful i've come across.
Not having dark mode implemented and having trash code is a good reason to stop being used.
CanvasBlocker.
One Tab

Worldwide Radio
Are some absolute musts for me.
I heared people love worldwide-radio. What's so cool about it? And why as a browser plugin? This could be a stand-alone app or website.
For me It's music discovery. Trying to find a particular net radio manually throughout the web that fills your criteria of music is obviously hard so this extension makes it easier to browse.
Other than that I use the browser for work and leisure so I end up browsing alot, since the browser is on most of the time I can turn on the radio and play faster from the extension instead of browsing to the dedicated website or swap to a different app for the same function. You can make the argument that a bookmark would work just as well but you can do it in the add-on too and make a library list of them that you can press the next button to change to a different one.

Simple Gesture. Now i don't have to go through a ton of menus or aim tiny UI elements for a simple action. I use similar addon on desktop as well.
