Firefox is one of the most notable and widely used web browsers available. Even though Firefox markets itself as a more privacy-friendly browser, it is also tremendously easy to use. With that in mind, it is no surprise that more than 150 million people across the globe do their work, schooling, and leisurely activities on it. However, there is one, fundamental feature that is often overlooked despite its extreme versatility: extensions.
Extensions can greatly enhance an individual’s experience on a browser, so with that in mind, here are a list of some of the most useful ones available:
Bitwarden, in my humble opinion, is one of the best password managers available as of right now. With this extension, you can generate and save randomized, hard-to-guess passwords with upwards of 50 characters to your own, personal “vault” that you can access at any time with a master password. If you’re feeling really cheeky, you can even use it as a desktop app or your smartphone!
Want to know that best part? It’s entirely free to use!
We can’t talk about the best extensions on a browser without mentioning at least one adblocker. In fact, they are so popular that we even wrote an entirely separate article about them! That being said, the go-to adblocker on the market would be UBlock Origin.
Championing over 10-million downloads and a respectable 4.7-star rating, it goes without question that it’s a fan favorite. UBlock Origin is easy to run on your computer and is customizable for a more advanced user’s specific needs.
