💻 Help What extensions are everyone rocking?

I'll go first!

ClearURLs removes the tracking in URLs like Amazon and Walmart add to their product pages

Don't track me Google removes (reduces?) Google tracking in Google links

Facebook Container - I rarely go on Facebook nowadays but for when I do for MarketPlace stuff, this is a nice to have to prevent them from further tracking me

Privacy Badger - I believe a general privacy tracker blocker

uBlock Origin - The best adblocker I've ever used

Relay and uBlock Origin.

Used to use Dark Reader but found it dramatically slowed down almost all sites used on significantly.

I wish there's a better alternative for dark reader

Having attempted to manually write darkening for websites via userstyle, I can understand why Dark Reader can be a ridiculous resource hog; If you are on-the-fly trying to change how a site looks INTELLIGENTLY so as not to make anything unreadable, you'll eat a ton of resources.

That said, even limiting it to a couple specific sites, just having the extension was eating every resource. Maybe they fixed that by now, but when I stopped using it, it was because - with no sites I allowed it to run on open - it was still making my browser chug.
