Talk about whatever, respecting the rules established by Lemmygrad. Failing to comply with the rules will grant you a few warnings, insisting on breaking them will grant you a beautiful shiny banwall.

What are some good extensions or apps that you use for your browser or desktop? Really useful ones outside of uBlock Origin or Dark Reader. (hexbear.net)

I use Vivaldi (Chromium).

I currently use uBlock Origin, Tab Count, Dark Reader, Read Aloud, Google Docs Offline, Srroll In, OneTab Plus (the original OneTab app kept glitching on me), and Dyslexic Browser.

I'm willing to have 15 apps/extensions for my browser and then probably no more after that (otherwise, the memory it'll take up will just make browsing super-slow, at least up until I finally upgrade my RAM card, which should be soon). Dunno if you can really use more than 15, to be perfectly honest, but I'm open to advice.

I want apps/extensions for university, research, reading and comprehension, language-learning, video-editing, and general QoL changes.

Also, let me know if I should still be using Vivaldi. What browser do you use? To me, Vivaldi is so far the best browser out there, at least currently (after having tried Mozilla Firefox, Google Chrome, Microsoft Edge, and Opera). What extensions do you use as well for your browser of choice?

Let me know and let's give each other advice or whatever. Cheers!

Keep your extensions to a minimum. The more you install, the greater your risk of being fingerprinted by websites and installing a malicious extension. I just use uBlock Origin, Bitwarden, Multi Account Containers and Sponsorblock.

Sound advice, also for OP to test their fingerprint: https://coveryourtracks.eff.org/
