Nice list, I also recommend this extensions:

  • Dark Reader (Dark mode for every website)
  • EditThisCookie (You can add, delete, edit, search, protect and block cookies!)
  • Save to Pocket (The easiest, fastest way to capture articles, videos, and more.)

Unfortunately only for Chrome.

In case that you are using Chrome, you can install browser extensions by following these steps:

  • Open the Chrome Web Store.
  • Find and select the extension you want.
  • Click Add to Chrome.
  • Some extensions will let you know if they need certain permissions or data. To approve, click Add extension.

Important: Make sure you only approve extensions that you trust.
