I use Firefox, but I’m quite confident all of these add-ons are available on chromium-based browsers too:
uBlock origin - I guess we all know what it does
imagus - allows to preview direct urls to images/videos by holding CTRL (or hovering them)
vimium - press F to have all the clickable elements of a webpage bind to a keys combination. Basically allows to navigate webpages with the keyboard
old reddit redirect - force reddit to display the old UI by redirecting pages to old.reddit.com
privacy redirect - force-redirects you to the privacy-respecting alternatives to YouTube, Twitter, Intagram, Maps
sponsorblock for youtube - crowdsourced extension that allows to skip product placements in YT videos
web archives - allows to see the archived version of a webpage on multiple providers
bitwarden’s browser extension if you use it
temporary containers - allows to create a temporary container if you quickly need to isolate a site from the rest of your browser storage (firefox only obv)
Translate Web Pages - found out about this a few days ago. Works good, I’ve been using it quite often and it’s pretty cool
in regards to temporary containers, one alternative to using selectively is to use it in automatic mode, making all domains temporary and pinning tabs where you want sessions to persist. it requires a bit more logging in upfront, but benefits of a small cache (fingerprint) footprint outweigh imo.
Most of the times I don’t want to have another browser window floating around, or maybe I need to have 3+ accounts logged in on the same site, so I need 2+ different containers. Also all your add-ons will work on the new “temporary contained” tab (I only have uBlock Origin and Decentraleyes configured to work in private mode)

Edit: added a few extensions to the list

Why use temporary containers vs incognito. I know some sites can detect incognito mode. Are there more reasons?
