Just curious as to what are some of your favorite addons/extensions for any browser? I've been rocking UBlock Origin since it first came out. I can't even remember what I used before then for an ad blocker. I've been using HTTPS Everywhere for a long time too. So what do you like to use. I'm curious if there's some neat and helpful ones I've never heard of.

uBlock is the only addon I have consistently across systems, with it's ability to synchronize it's whitelist/blacklist using a Google account, and it's small CPU and Memory footprint.. I haven't seen a better ad blocker yet.

Chrome Remote Desktop is kind of nice if you want to rely on Google for Remote Desktop access.
Google's Cloud Print is also pretty nifty. Although that's more of an app that runs with Chrome not an addon.

If your a Twitch Viewer then BetterTTV and FrankerFaceZ are must haves.

Yeah UO's small memory footprint was what sold back when I first started to use it.

I used to use Ad-blocker, but after a number of friends like Ublock, I tried it and was sold on it.

For downloading videos I use FVD downloader, with the FVD_Downloader_Module_1.0.8.msi extension. The odd video it won't get from YouTube, I just login using my Gmail account.

It seems to me that when talking about ad blockers Ublock Origin is a fav with tech savvy and ad-blocker is what people get when first looking up ad blockers
