  • libcurl

    A command line tool and library for transferring data with URL syntax, supporting DICT, FILE, FTP, FTPS, GOPHER, GOPHERS, HTTP, HTTPS, IMAP, IMAPS, LDAP, LDAPS, MQTT, POP3, POP3S, RTMP, RTMPS, RTSP, SCP, SFTP, SMB, SMBS, SMTP, SMTPS, TELNET, TFTP, WS and WSS. libcurl offers a myriad of powerful features

    That actually looks quite practical and convenient. I'm a wget fan myself, but have to use curl sometimes when collaborating with coworkers, and would use curl more often if it implemented the features described in its github wiki -- https://github.com/curl/curl/wiki/JSON

  • httpie

    🥧 HTTPie CLI — modern, user-friendly command-line HTTP client for the API era. JSON support, colors, sessions, downloads, plugins & more. (by httpie)

    https://github.com/httpie/httpie has stuff like that built in, it's a great tool

  • InfluxDB

    Power Real-Time Data Analytics at Scale. Get real-time insights from all types of time series data with InfluxDB. Ingest, query, and analyze billions of data points in real-time with unbounded cardinality.

  • ht

    Friendly and fast tool for sending HTTP requests

    Many HTTPie users moved to xh. It's a reimplementation written in Rust and is much lighter and faster than the original. Supports HTTP/2 too.

  • uBlock

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

    Firefox has its own "Enhanced Tracking Protection", which is eclipsed by pretty much any specialized content blocker (such as uBlock Origin). Anyone who cares for that stuff has probably turned it off and installed a better extension for that, and for people who don't, well, it's completely unnecessary.
