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?

One I haven't seen mentioned yet is DownThemAll.

DownThemAll lets you download all the links or images on a website and much more: you can refine your downloads by fully customizable filters to get only what you really want.

Comes in really handy sometimes. (For Firefox / Chrome / Edge)

Another is uBlacklist, which allows you to blacklist domains from Google / Bing / DDG search results (like say, pinterest.*), also for Firefox / Chrome / Edge.

I used to use DownThemAll way back, but I'm not sure what I'd use it for now. What are you downloading?

uBlacklist seems like it could be very useful.

Mostly if I find an open directory with stuff I like. Also it has come in handy downloading maps from government websites. It's more of a "handy to have" than "day to day use"
