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

Firefox - an excellent browser that can use addons, like the essential adblocker uBlock Origin highly recommended, don't use anything else because there's nothing better. I've dumped Safari when extensions were deprecated and I've never looked back.

• Quicksilver

  16 2,701 7.4 Objective-C

  Quicksilver Project Source

  

For task/app launching, LaunchBar, QuickSilver, and Butler (and of course Alfred that you already mentioned). I use LaunchBar. Alfred is probably more powerful, but LaunchBar is the snappiest for the way I use it. It's not as much about saving seconds/milliseconds as it is being able to stay in a flow.
