What are your favorite firefox add-ons?

[radonrose]

I could do with only "uBlock Origin", but some containers that speed up my work and entertainment are "Containerise", "Enhancer for YouTube", "Swift Selection Search", and "Add custom search engine".

@JayM take a look at the "browser.tabs.allowTabDetach" setting in "about:config" if you would like to have one plugin less on your browser.

uMatrix (no longer supported, but still works as an effective "firewall")

I've heard some people say : "Don't make your browser a Christmas tree" (decorated with too many addons)
Some addons may be malicious , unnecessary and/or slow your browser down

I totally understand where you are coming from. I tend to leave addons I am not using right now disabled and enable them as needed. The list is just that, a list of addons I use and have used for some time.

The only one that I am suspicious of is Honey. It is very popular, but there are questions I have about it.

A bit less 'snazz up sites' focused for me. Seems like a lot of us like the privacy add-ons!

* Decentraleyes - Keep CDN outages from ruining my day
* DuckDuckGo Privacy Essentials - I like the site ratings!
* Privacy Badger - Tends to find things that uBlock doesn't or can't block outright
* uBlock Origin - nice light adblock
* Old Reddit Redirect - I just like it

Edit: I should note - I have tab detach and JS pop-outs disabled in about:config as well, there's a lot you can do in there! Plus, I use a flatpak of Firefox. I use Flatseal with that and it keeps my whole browser nicely contained. Firejail seems interesting too, but I know less about it.

Search by Image - Sounds excellent, but is it better as an addon? I found that you can do it online, why make your browser heaver?

Not sure how it compares, but I am looking into this:
