* '''[https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/ublock-origin/ uBlock Origin]''' is the only ad blocker you need, but it's more than that. You can block all kinds of stuff. E.g. you can get blocklists from [Stephen Black](https://github.com/StevenBlack/hosts/) to block fake news, porn, social media or gambling sites.

* '''[https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/multi-account-containers/ Multi Account Containers]''' is a great addon by Mozilla that let's you put the sites you browse into containers so the sites don't know what other sites you are on. You can enhance containers features with '''[https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/switch-container-plus/ Switch Containers Plus]''' and '''[https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/temporary-containers/ Temporary Containers]'''.
