For a while now I've been quite happy running LibreWolf, with Bitwarden and some other privacy extensions. I've also switched over from Google to Kagi as a search engine; doesn't keep me anonymous, but I do love not being the product for once.
I recently switched from DDG to Ecosia. It gets results from the same dataset (Bing) and they plant trees when you search a certain number of times (the number fluctuates based on your frequency of searches I think). They're also supposedly carbon negative and have a decent privacy policy from what I can tell.
Clipboard history pro: Stores a list of everything you have copied
It's a bit of a privacy headache - as the data is stored on cloud, but it has been so so damn useful to me that I keep using it, and haven't found anything that adequately replaces it.
If anyone has an FOSS alternative that stores data locally, please let me know :)
Ublock Orgin, No-Script is essential... for searches just build your own Searx instance. I love that I can customize so much with Searx Honorable mention? - Privacy Badger
I run Firefox with the Arkenfox user.js, and I keep my extensions pretty minimal. I use Bitwarden, Anonaddy, uBlock Origin (with a few custom blocklists), Smart Referer, Skip Redirect, FastForward, and Redirector. I also use the Plasma Integration for KDE.
On my PC I use ungoogled chromium with UBlock origin mainly for online purchases etc, FF with UBlock and NoScript for email and github type things and Librewolf with UBlock for general searches and my webUI stuff on my home server
On my phone I constantly switch between Bromite, DDG Firefox and Mull with UBlock on the FF and Mull
For search engines I constantly switch between DDG, Searx, Startpage, Qwant, Swisscow, Ecosia and Brave and sometimes Google when I'm really strugglingtpo find things but I can't remember the last time I needed it. Its great being able to switch search engines on the fly with FF based browsers and bangs on DDG
I hate monopolies and being over reliant on a single entity so I try to have a bit of variation wherever I can
Besides the typical privacy-oriented Firefox extensions, I loveSidebery. It's by far the best tree-style tab add-on I've ever seen. Beautiful and powerful.
You can organize your tabs into panels (little side tabs for tabs :P) and groups (collapsible tab folders for organization inside a panel). You can set colors, set containers, move to panels and windows. You can duplicate, unload, clear cookies. You can flatten trees and mute tabs. You can set up automatic snapshots to manage your sessions.
