Category "how the hell isn't this included by default" :

  • Copy Plain Text: Adds an option in the right click menu to copy the selected text as plain text, without formatting
  • Copy Link Text : Adds an option in the right click menu to copy the text of a link
  • Markdown Reader: Show formatted markdown. I tried several extensions for this and this is the one I prefer personally. It has an index panel on the left which is sooo useful.

Category "Preserving your mental health online" :

  • uBlock Origin: You really need to block those ads
  • Consent-O-Matic: Never see a cookie pop-up again in your life (it auto accepts or refuse in your place).
  • SponsorBlock: Skips Youtube sponsorships. You can define which ones you want to skip and which you want to watch (paid ads, self promo, etc)
  • Return Youtube Dislike: Show the number of dislikes on videos. It's not a real number, it's extrapolated based on how many people with the app have clicked dislike.
  • Youtube No Translate: Keeps titles, descriptions and audio tracks in their original language

Category "Usefull" :

  • KeePassXC-Browser: To access your password database from your browser
  • Whatever fingerprinting protection you can find (Canvas, Fonts, WebGL, etc.. half those I used have been pulled, haven't found a replacement for all of them)

Category "Would be nice if..." :

  • A user agent switcher... if you want all websites to block you 😑
  • NoScript: Block javascript and create custom rules to allow it only when and where you want. Or the reverse. It was great a few years ago but I've stopped using it because websites require allowing more and more otherwise nothing works and it's hell can we cancel javascript please?
  • Dark Reader: Dark mode for all websites. Can make some websites unreadable, but you can turn it off for that website. Makes everything much slower though so I don't use it.

    BTW for plain text, ctrl+shift+V pastes as plain text.

    For copying link text if you hold alt and drag you can select text without activating the link, then ctrl+C as usual.

    I had no idea about the second one! I still like having a context menu option, right click + E seems much less of a hassle than selecting the text and copying, but it's nice to know you can select part of a link! How did I never notice that you could in 20 years? 😅

    Pro-tip: you may not need Consent-O-Matic. There are uBlock Origin cookie banner filters that you can enable (even though they break some websites, even if it's rare)
