As per the title.

What are the go-to default browser extensions that you cannot go without?

My (small) list:

Bitwarden Password Manager
Checker Plus for Gmail
Grammarly

I used to have uBlock Origin and Adblock for Youtube, but I don't use those anymore since switching to Brave Browser and subscribing to YouTube Premium a few months back.

Rather switch to https://languagetool.org/
 
AdGuard - the very first one that gets installed.
Free Download Manage - yes some of us have crappy internet connections and still need download managers.
Real Debrid - for the seed box to download torrents/magnets because my ISP block P2P.

uBlock Origin + Ghostery

Far too many Steam helpers...
Far too many password managers...

and Honey.
 
uBlock Origin
Session Buddy (Must have, if you have tons of tabs open and you want to go back to one or you have a 24/7 PC and it reboots, all your tabs are logged and you can open them all at once or a specific one).
Dark Reader
RSS Feeder
 
I try keep extensions to a minimum. They can really affect your browser's speed.

1. Bitwarden
2. AdGuard
3. CSS Scan

And that's it.

I know CSS Scan v2.0 is highly rated, but how does it compare to the competition. I used ToyBox Inspect in its early days and though I liked it I switched to Hoverify which was at the time an LTD deal, and it has served me well since. I know of CSS Inspector which is a rip-off from CSS Scan, but is unsupported for obvious reasons. What I want to know is how CSS Scan v2.0 compare to Hoverify, just more simplistic? I have checked the demo on their website, and it does seem to be a simplistic tool which gets its job done.

ToyBox and CSS Scan Pro v2.0 are more comparable due to its focussed niche, but I just want to know if you have used Hoverify and how it compares to CSS Scan v2.0 from a production point of view?
 
I just use the basics.. i.e.

1. Adblock,
2.1Password,
3, folx go (download manager, rarely use it),
4. Minimal scroll.

Also configured chrome force dark mode which is awesome mostly but can make some things hard to read where colors arent great. I should move to Safari but i like using Chrome for some features and the history and availability across O/S
