[QUOTE="forgottenuser79643, post: 995444, member: 88069"] This is my current setup on Firefox. Which I have divided into three categories. Cat 3 you can delete and none would be the wiser nor would anyone even care. Cat 2 are just plain useful, but up to users' discretion. With FireMonkey I manage my userscripts and don't do anything with CSS any more even though it has the capability for it built-in. And among the userscripts I use at this time of writing, disregarding QoL userscripts, that do stand out are: [LIST] [*]Coloured Like/Dislike Ratio [LIST] [*]Returns the ancient YouTube green-red bar for like to dislike ratio. Why? Because I like fancy stuff. [/LIST] [*]Return YouTube Dislike [LIST] [*]I just want to see the damn number, don't tell me what to do! [I]rabble rabble rabble[/I] [/LIST] [*]Simple YouTube Age Restriction Bypass [LIST] [*]As I don't/never login into my Google account for anything other than GMAIL due to its excellent "free" spam filter. I can't verify my age and stuff according to the screen. So I just bypass/block it... [/LIST] [*]STEAMNV (I wrote this one :D) [LIST] [*]Same story as YouTube age restriction script, but for Steam. I only login to the client, but occasionally I browse within the browser or get linked a store page for in the browser. As I don't want to login to verify or too lazy to startup Steam. [/LIST] [/LIST] If you either disregard or delete category 2 and 3 from the browser, then I basically am fully setup for browsing full-stop with a combination of uBlock Origin and FireMonkey. If I had to add one more add-on to category 1, then it would be something along the lines of 'Emsisoft Browser Security' add-on. That would then make it 3 pure essential add-ons in my mind.
