I try sometimes browser extensions (mentioned in forums) but almost never decide to keep using in the long run...

One. I prefer to rely on built-in otherwise.

1. TWP - Translate Web Pages (Opera)
2. AdGuard Extra
3. Bitwarden
4. OptMeowt
5. uBlock Origin development build
6. Avira
7. Microsoft Editor: Spelling & Grammar Checker
8. NelliTab (Edge)
9. xTranslate (Edge)

I use 7 and I only use the ones I need, but of course I listen to the experiences others have had.

One only.

 

[TairikuOkami]

4 essential, 2 temporary. I am trying to keep it at the minimum, clearly the email notification is necessary and cleaning browser's cache/cookies is beneficial.
3rd party searches & removing the annoying EU cookies noticies is the bonus. 1 forces neeva search and the other one is for coupons during the purchase.

 

[Digmor Crusher]

3, adblocker, password manager and a font enhancer, try to keep them to a minimum.

 

[ErzCrz]

With Firefox - uBO, DDG extension & Facebook container. With Edge - Just uBO

 

[Gandalf_The_Grey]

Down to three:

Adblocker : AdGuard AdBlocker MV3 Experimental 0.3.12
Passwordmanager: Bitwarden
Security extension : Browsing Protection by F-Secure (part of FS protection Beta or F-Secure SAFE)

I'm open to try new extension, but still want to limit the number of extensions used.

Currently 4 : Adguard, Malwarebytes browser guard, Lyrics Here & Bitwarden PWM

I don't really try out too many extensions, especially those new ones with very few users.
