Ublock Origin is an obvious one, but I also can't stand not having Foxy Gestures anymore. It adds customizable mouse gestures, so you can set it up to have easy swipes to go back a page, reload a page, close a tab, etc, and it feels wonderful and smooth to use compared to just using the traditional buttons to do everything. Honestly it's kinda wild to me that this isn't more popular now that people are so used to phone gestures. It's good for the same reasons!

I shared one on reddit that replaces pictures of spiders with kittens and it was met with a pretty shocking amount of hatred and vitriol brought my way, so nervous to share it here. But still I thought it was nice.

I had a similar one but for the former president. I still have it installed and it always confuses me for a second until I remember it.

Yo could share a link that. I'd love to see it in action when a prowl the cesspool that is r/politics on Reddit. XD.

I almost destroyed a phone once when I scrolled down to an unexpected spider image, my fight or flight response kicked in, and I threw the phone across the room. So this sounds amazing!!

If only mobile Firefox had even a little bit of extension support.

Man, fuck the haters. This sounds amazing and I'm seriously considering using it lol
