  Any particular reason you're using both Greasemonkey and Tampermonkey?

Because I'm low on RAM on this box: Auto Tab Discard (and reduce worker processes in settings) To leave somewhat less of a digital trail: uBlock Origin, Decentraleyes, Privacy Badger. Absolute livesaver: Form History Control. Nice tweaks: Tree Style Tab, Fix Twitter, Google Search Link Fix, Link Alert, Link Cleaner, Reload in Address Bar. Product-specific stuff: LastPass, Enhanced Steam, Fanatical Assistant, Amazon Smile Redirect. This isn't an addon, but I made a bookmark with the URL https://web.archive.org/web/submit?url=%s https://web.archive.org/web/submit?url=%s and the keyword "rez". (You can add keywords in the full Bookmarks window, Ctrl-Shift-B.) Now I can load any page in the Internet Archive by putting the word "rez" in front of it in the address bar!

Tab Counter - constant reminder I should close a couple of hundred tabs.

I use uBlock Origin and Privacy Badger. uBlock Origin blocks the ads and Privacy Badger blocks invisible trackers. I think I'm gonna drop Privacy Badger since the latest Firefox version includes Content Blocking https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/content-blocking https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/content-blocking.
