I really enjoy Firefox on Android as I can install a bunch of extensions and I find those extensions game changer, especially on the mobile.

One of my favorites are

Libredirect - literally one of my favorite ones. Redirects popular sites to privacy focused frontends, like YouTube to Invidious, etc.
uBlock Origin - I guess everyone knows this one
Privacy Badger - blocks trackers
Ghostery - blocks trackers, ads, scripts, etc.

What extensions do you guys use?

Some of my picks to add to all other comments

Gesturefy: Mouse gesture addon. It can also run custom javascript. For example I have a script that makes copying text, links, buttons easier.
Imagus mod: Hover zoom addon with up-to-date sieves that actually work. The sieve team is quite good.
BetterViewer: Image viewer although some buttons don't work on firefox.
Fastforward: circumvents annoying link shorteners
Distill: Monitor webpage or feed for changes

I also have many ***monkey and stylus scripts.

Sorry to necro, but have you found/made a working Imagus sieve for Lemmy? I've been trying without luck for months.

Sorry I don't have one but I'm guessing it wouldn't be very simple as there are so many lemmy websites.
