Are there any addons as essential as uBlockOrigin? (lemmy.world)

I would love to find extensions that make me think "How did I live without this?"

Since it hasn't been mentioned - containers.

Essentially lets you keep have browser tabs with entirely separate cookies from each other (like if you opened it in a different browser). Helps me keep work and personal accounts apart, and also sandbox evil^tm^ webpages I'm forced to visit (by giving them their own container).

I almost forget it isn't included in firefox by default.

It almost is; the scaffolding is there but the addon is needed to turn the feature on.

Yeah, it's a very nice way to avoid bloat in the base browser tbh!

I just use different browsers. For example I use waterfox for all my ordinary browsing stuff. Social media, email work.

And I use Firefox when I want to watch 8 cam girls at the same time while searching for weird Japanese vomit porn.
