- Cookie Autodelete
- Firefox Multi-account container 
- I don&amp;#x27;t care about cookies (not updated since bought by Avast)
- Privacy badger
- Tampermonkey
- Tridactyl
- uBlock Origin&lt;p&gt;I feel like I&amp;#x27;m pretty conservative with the add-ons that I install, yet I can&amp;#x27;t comfortably browse the web if I&amp;#x27;m missing one of them.

It&amp;#x27;s frankly incredible we&amp;#x27;re still allowed the power to control our user agents like we do. If the web was built today it would be a locked down nightmare controlled 100% by corporate interests.</text></comment>
