Probably the most suggested ones and one hidden gem: uBlock Origin, Privacy Badger, HTTPS Everywhere, and AdNauseum

AdNauseum

is it useful using both AdNauseum and uBlock Origin at the same time?

To be honest with you, I did my research on their simultaneous functionality a while ago so I forgot the answer to your question. But I see it as a final boss any ads have to face if they make it past uBlock. The way it works is actually pretty cool. Whatever ads it does get a hold of, it fucks with them hard.

  1. ClearURLs: Removes tracking shit from URLs.
  2. Google Search Link Fix: If you’re lib enough to use Google as your main search engine, or unfortunately have to default to it for local searches like the rest of us, this is a must. It renders search results as the actual links instead of Google’s internal tracking links that redirect to them after basically logging your visit if not more.
  3. HTTPS Everywhere/Smart HTTPS/HTTPZ: Upgrades requests to HTTPS where possible, with the option of blocking HTTP outright as well.
  4. Privacy Redirect: Redirects Twitter, Insta, YouTube, and Google Maps to privacy-respecting alternatives that are often faster and better.
  5. uBlock Origin in medium mode + JavaScript off by default/uMatrix with 1st party scripts off by default for global scope/NoScript.

Everyone has posted some really good ones, I would like to add:

Nitter redirect

Because fuck twitter

Tab session manager

Useful when you have a hundred tabs open and you need to close your session for updates, or if firefox crashes.

Textmarker

Useful for highlighting in articles, automatically saves so that you keep your highlights for the next time you visit the page.
