What browser extensions do you use that you'd recommend to others?

Do you contribute to any FOSS browser extension projects?

Are there any non-FOSS extensions that you wish had a sufficient FOSS alternative?

uMatrix, which lets me choose which kinds of content (cookies, scripts, etc) from which domains are allowed in my browser. Regrettably, it is no longer maintained. I wonder if there's some alternative that is maintained?

Unfortunately the developer of NoScript couldn't justify the time spent on uMatrix. I really liked it but dropped it when it's maintenance was ended. I don't know of a good replacement but NoScript technically can do what uMatrix did but the NoScript interface is not convenient.
