I like to keep it slim - ublock and adblocker on firefox and chrome, lastpass, and the only other plugin I use is one I made for running bookmarklets.
Basically everything else I need is a bookmarklet on a per-use-case basis.
My favorite is OneTab. It helps you to organize and save the tabs.
All the ones published by EFF.
The dev tools that are built in to most browsers offer most of the features of the other extensions you suggest out-the-box.
I've made a Chrome extension and I can absolutely live without it, but wanted to share it anyways: RaterFox
It changes your boring new tab to a nice screen with a background of a popular movie, including some information and links to instantly watch a trailer. On scroll your screen turns into a simple and clean feed of the most popular movies, TV shows and games. See the average rating and know in an instant which movies, TV shows or video games are worth your time. Click the title to read a short summary and watch a trailer.
Some other Chome extensions I use a lot:
Refined GitHub. It adds so many features to GitHub, and they're so greatly implemented I almost forget sometimes that I have it.
I can't live without Workona!
I have never been able to context switch faster between tasks!
Funny, I have no development-oriented addon on Firefox! That's what I have:
I love Privacy Badger! I still have Greasemonkey installed, too.
great stuff. you are heavy on how you surf web. :)
Wappalyzer, to see what technologies the site is built on.
Grammarly and Dark Reader.
