uBlock Origin and I don’t care about cookies. They’re essential for me.
Just so you know IDCAC was bought by Avast, which is being bought by Norton/Symantec. There’s “I still don’t care about cookies” or the built in uBlock cookie banner options as a replacement.
Apart from what others mentioned I’d suggest installing DeArrow, from the maker of SponsorBlock. It gets rid of clickbait titles and thumbnails on YouTube.
But then where will I get to see an overexposed background image, some all caps text, and a portrait of someone with their mouth open, all at once?
DeArrow
OMG This makes Youtube useable!!! Honestly, it just relieved so much anxiety for me.
People have already covered the great ones so I will mention one of the more obscure.

Holy shit. Been looking for an addon like this
Ublock origin (Adblocker)
Sponsor Block(YouTube sponspor skip)
Clickbait remove (remove those awful thumbnails)
Bitwarden Password Manager
Clearurls (clean trackers in url)
Bonus
uBO and noscript
The only add-on that I consider necessary is uBO (with advanced settings).
All others are very good to have installed, in fact I use many of them, but I can live on just fine without them.
Dark reader screws up some sites for me, I prefer “dark background and light text” cuz it’s more comprehensive and you can customize the asset colors
I keep coming back to Firefox cuz no other browser has as good of a dark mode addon as “dark background and light text”
Bypass for ublock for getting past paywalls
Just uBlock.
tab group add ons
as an addon for all the others
- UBO (lots of links already in this thread)
- LocalCDN
- Linguist Translator - use the Bergamot engine for total privacy
- ClearURLs
NoScript, uBlock Origin and Dark mode. (But I prefer the experimental darkmode setting in Vivaldi) Those are essential to me.
Panorama view is close to essential, I wish I found a tab stack alternative that works with it. (Haven’t looked yet, Vivaldi is my current main browser, until Fifefox can get tames in the same way)
uMatrix
Firefox Multi Account Containers
Video Speed Controller
Cookie AutoDeleteuMatrix is unfortunately discontinued. It’s successor is uBlock origin. I learned that some month ago and switched fully to UBO.
There is an good article in the Github documentation from UBO, that can activate similar features like uMatrix.
I use Privacy Badger to just help block trackers and stuff, I think Firefox has this built in though now
