I have been trying out software since 2008. Back then software was coming in CDs in tech magazines. After all these years, here is what I have been settling on:

Browser

I had tried IE, Edge, Safari, Opera, Maxthon, Avant, Vivaldi, etc. I had been a Google Chrome user for a long time. A few years back when Firefox launched Containers, I switched to Firefox.

• Mozilla Firefox Developer Edition
  • I use Firefox, especially for its container feature.
  • I am a contributor to the Mozilla community, so a bit of emotional attachment is there.
• Brave
  • Brave I use to use Google Input tools add-on to write into Odia Wikipedia and to make Shabdarasa posts in Odia.
  • To try out new Chromium-based Add-ons.

Browser Extensions/Add-ons

Firefox

• Video Speed controller
  • I use this to go beyond 2x speed while watching any video.
  • Highest went till 4x speed.
• Containers
  • Containers are like Independent cookies-based tabs synced with your bookmarks.
  • Firefox Multi-Account Containers lets you keep parts of your online life separated into color-coded tabs. Cookies are separated by the container.
  • For example, In two different tabs in the same window, you can open two different Twitter accounts.
• Grammarly
  • Spelling/Grammar corrector
• Thumbnail rating bar
  • Without opening the youtube videos, from the thumbnail of the video you can see how many people liked/disliked the video.
• Dark reader
  • It converts any webpage to dark mode.
  • It helps to read on the bed before sleeping without too much straining the eyes.
• uBlock origin
  • Finally settled with this AdBlocker.
  • It supports customized Ad blocking as well.
• WhatFont
  • This Add-on helps me identify any text font.
• Wapanalyzer
  • Helps me detect what web framework, tools, and technologies are used in a website.
• ColourPicker
  • Provides the hex code of any color on a website.
• Imagus
  • To quickly preview a photo in full size, without clicking on the image.
• SearchPreview
  • Adds preview of the websites on the search results.
• SaveToNotion
  • It saves any important website to my notion (a note-taking app) workspace.
• AutoTabDiscard
  • It automatically makes tabs inactive if Idle for a custom time period.
• JiffyReader
  • It has a feature, which helps you read faster.
  • I have been experimenting with this Add-on and have not settled yet.

I would love to know any other add-on which is super useful to you and I should try that out. To get more such updates you can follow me on Twitter @soumendrak_.
