hiramfromthechi, You really don’t need anything besides uBlock Origin. With that said:
- Your password manager’s extension would be convenient.
- LibRedirect is great so that any social links get redirected to privacy-respecting frontends.
- Dark Reader to save your eyes.
About some other ones that are mentioned:
- ClearURLs is not necessary if you configure uBlock Origin to remove the tracking parameters.
- Bypass Paywalls Clean is not necessary if you configure uBlock Origin to replicate this functionality.
Other:
- Firefox Multi-Account Contains is good for managing accounts.
- Temporary Containers is also good for isolating tabs.
IIRC, Privacy Badger and Decentraleyes are no longer necessary with uBlock Origin. Neither is HTTPS Everywhere.
eya, uBlock OriginKeePassXC-Browser (Or your preferred password manager) Consent-O-MaticLibRedirectBypass Paywalls Clean
hal_5700X, (edited ) Basic Plugins:
- uBlock Origin
- Dark Reader
- Password Manager Bitwarden or KeePassXC-Browser. If you going to use KeePassXC. You need to download the manager itself.

drawerair, (edited ) I didn’t know Fastforward. I won’t need to wait 10 s on 1 of those sites anymore. Thanks.
A_Random_Idiot, uBlock Origin.
ikidd, Foxy Gestures
Buck, Ublock origin Ghostery Containers (so darn useful) Tampermonkey if you know JavaScript, little tweaks can make some sites much more usable
Custom Context search (forgot the actual name of it and I’m on mobile now). It allows you to add custom searches to your right click, so if you select text and right click, you can search for it on any site with search functionality.
lledrtx, Surprised no one has mentioned VideoDownloadHelper yet - www.downloadhelper.net
I’ve used this since I was a kid and it made me really popular in high school lol. Everyone thought I was a hacker or something.
Mechanite, I used to use this but now I just use yt dlp since it seems to handle random stuff with more success and it’s just as easy to use
jenny_ball, this stopped working with archive.org right? it used to be so good with that.
Couldbealeotard, It’s gotten worse with a lot of things. JDownloader is much better now
AceFuzzLord, For me, I cannot go without the flagfox extension on PC. Otherwise, I’d probably just be going over extensions everyone else has been beating like a dead horse.
cashews_best_nut, Can you explain why? I installed Flagfox and it’s interesting especially cos I used to be a web dev but I don’t get why you’d really need to have it? No offence I just wanna know if I’m missing some hidden feature! 😂
AceFuzzLord, I just use it because I like to see where a website’s server is supposedly located. No hiddeb features, just server location.
ilinamorato, (edited ) On desktop,
- uBO, of course
- Bitwarden (replace with your own password manager)
- Redirect AMP to HTML
- Redirector
- Multi-Account Containers
With these five, you have control over the entire Internet. You can bend it to your will. On mobile, just 1, 3, and 4 (assuming you have your password manager installed at the system level, and until Containers works on mobile).
I also really like Notes for Firefox and Dark Reader, but they’re not what I’d call must-have.
Kolanaki, (edited ) uBlock Origin and some kind of mouse gesture with rocker commands extension. Those are the only two universal types I use. Everything else I can’t live with is pretty specific to my own usage to alter the function of specific websites (like RES for Reddit, but for other sites).
cashews_best_nut, Are you getting paid to post or are you just a terminally online Lemmy-addict? It’s not good for your mental health to be online this much.
Kolanaki, (edited ) Is it being silly online or simply reality that is really affecting my mental health?

mlg, uBlock Origin
Optional: Dark Reader Wappalyzer if you want to see cool web info
cashews_best_nut, If you like Wappalyser you may like BuiltWith and WhatRuns. 👍
Nanomerce, Flagfox, not that useful but it’s interesting to see
xe3, There are only *two must have extensions in Firefox:
- uBlock Origin
- Your password manager’s browser extension
Beyond that it’s all optional. Most things I used to use extensions to accomplish are now possible to accomplish using Firefox’s built in settings or using uBlock Origin.
There are a few other extensions I use that I consider useful but optional:
- Dark Reader
- Facebook Container
- Libredirect
Asudox, uBlock Origin
rikudou, I really love the built-in container extension (Multi-Account Containers or something like that). Really good if you need to log in to the same site multiple times or if you don’t want someone track you across sites.
