That is some ingenious bait for HN readers! Of course everyone is going to passionately defend their favourite.

(Mine is, of course, tree style tabs - I could never manage without it.)

Go on then. I'll play. My 'must have' half dozen which get installed first, on every browser on every device I use:

* Bitwarden

* HTTPS everywhere

* Privacy Badger/Possum/Other Furry Animal

* uBlock Origin

* uMatrix

* Windscribe

> HTTPS everywhere

Not anymore, firefox has it by default now, just gotta turn a setting on.

> uMatrix

Sadly this is dead, I guess I'll switch to a fork once I have time to figure out who does what.

I don't use Firefox as my main browser. I use Yandex. I do sometimes wonder if HTTPS everywhere is becoming a bit redundant these days anyway. Most sites seem to have moved to HTTPS these days.

  >Sadly this [uMatrix] is dead
Yes, that's a shame. It still works though. Hopefully whoever takes on the task of keeping it alive via a fork will make it a bit more mobile friendly. [The same could be said about uBlock Origin]
