So we have "Buster: Captcha Solver for Humans", "uBlock Origin" and what is the last one?

  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

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

  TabMixPlus of course.

  NoScript would be up there for me, or else Bitwarden.

  For me, it's Dark Reader. I can't browse the web without it.

  uMatrix

Buster is a godsend and has probably saved me from having to abandon half the internet sites I visit. Now if only someone could come up with similarly useful extensions that got rid of the other two forms of cancer that are ruining the internet: 1: Cookie consent dialogues* and 2: Those modal overlays that suddenly cover up what you're reading and ask you to subscribe to some poxy newsletter or mailing list. *not "I Don't Care About Cookies". It slowed my browser to a crawl when I installed it.

  Unfortunately the developers of those particular things (often like ad developers) use obscurity of things like div names to make the task less trivial.
