Ublock Origin is an obvious one, but I also can't stand not having Foxy Gestures anymore. It adds customizable mouse gestures, so you can set it up to have easy swipes to go back a page, reload a page, close a tab, etc, and it feels wonderful and smooth to use compared to just using the traditional buttons to do everything. Honestly it's kinda wild to me that this isn't more popular now that people are so used to phone gestures. It's good for the same reasons!

  • uBlock Origin is pretty self-explanatory
  • Highlighter + Notes helps my ADHD a lot by letting me highlight important phrases in big blocks of texts, especially any articles or posts I might be reading and replying to
  • Archive Page for archive.today is also self-explanatory, I like using it to create permalinks or de-paywalled links to news articles

helps my ADHD

Only barely related, but have you ever tried JiffyReader? It highlights the first segment of each word, which is supposed to help ADHDers focus on each word instead of skimming over whole sentences/paragraphs/pages at once. It does help me like, some.

Ublock + Sponsorblock are a killer combo I couldn't use the internet without. I also use keepa to see amazon price history.

If you already use Ublock, isnt another blocking extension (Sponsorblock) kind of meaningless?
