  • WorkOS - The modern identity platform for B2B SaaS
  • InfluxDB - Power Real-Time Data Analytics at Scale
  • uBlock

    uBlock Origin - An efficient blocker for Chromium and Firefox. Fast and lean.

    The UBO dev has written about how it works much better on Firefox - https://github.com/gorhill/uBlock/wiki/uBlock-Origin-works-best-on-Firefox

  • firefox-ios

    Firefox for iOS

    But switching to Firefox sadly comes with its own weird problems...

  • SurveyJS

    Open-Source JSON Form Builder to Create Dynamic Forms Right in Your App. With SurveyJS form UI libraries, you can build and style forms in a fully-integrated drag & drop form builder, render them in your JS app, and store form submission data in any backend, inc. PHP, ASP.NET Core, and Node.js.

  • hosts

    🔒 Consolidating and extending hosts files from several well-curated sources. Optionally pick extensions for porn, social media, and other categories.

  • temporary-containers

    Firefox Add-on that lets you open automatically managed disposable containers

    It'd be nice if someone could copy-edit all settings on Github.

  • nyxt

    Nyxt - the hacker's browser.

    So, though I'm generally happy with FF, I fear it's not getting the amount of love it needs. Hope Mozilla can keep up, but given recent developments at Mozilla I am not optimistic. I'm even thinking of trying alternative browsers like https://nyxt.atlas.engineer/ . But I bet it won't work with things like Netflix and Youtube due to the "proprietary" stuff.

  • darkreader

    Dark Reader Chrome and Firefox extension

    Unfortunately this is a deal breaker for me: https://github.com/darkreader/darkreader/issues/1285
