Extensions / plug-ins for same?

2. WordPress: What extensions do you find to be "must haves"?

Ghostery has improved my life considerably. It is a pretty powerful pop-up, pop-in, Google ad, cookie, etc. blocker. You can tailor it in a lot of ways, but I use it full-bore for almost everything except for about 5 websites.

Google Chrome.

Google and Firefox, depends on the need.

Yep, Ghostery has been great. As well as: https everywhere, ublock origin

Firefox here, but will investigate ghostery.

You ABSOLUTELY need to install WordFence in your WordPress site. The free version is fine, it helps stop password attacks and notifies you of missing patches and more.

I use Chrome on my mac with AdBlock Plus installed.

Browser: use Safari with adblock and ghostery. Tend to end up with a large number of tabs open during some projects. Leads to slow or no load over the course of the day. For sites that don't work well I head to Opera and Firefox. HTTPS everywhere extension in use on Firefox.

Opera seems to be quick but that could be due to minimal load on it when I use it. Firefox plug-ins have been slow to return since release of Quantum.

Plugin added. Thanks much Joe. Slowly working on getting ready to build a site for local mtb org. GeneratePress, Elementor and WooCommerce are planned base plugins.

The multi-account containers extension on firefox is a must-have. It is an official firefox extension that let you create container tabs. Say you have a google account, a facebook account and a velocipedesalon account. You map each of these websites to a container so they don't share cookies/browsing history/everything. It also makes life easier when you are using different accounts on the same website/service or need to separate work and private environment.
