    I use....

    Video DownloadHelper (let's me download videos from websites)
    Keepa (shows price history on Amazon items)
    uBlock Origin (blocks ads without being a memory hog; let's me select elements for blocking; whitelist)

    I *sometimes* enable an extension named Toggle JavaScript" when a web page is being pesky

    Firefox had an awesome extension called Tabkit that allowed you to sort and color code your tabs. But FF became a massive memory hog and I ditched it for Chrome a decade ago and Chrome doesn’t have Tabkit.

    Totally forgot about Lastpass. I also use https everywhere to force https if the site resolves to http.

    I don't know about Chrome, but below is one way Opera (the best browser by a wide margin, IMHO) allows the user to display bookmarks (Opera is basically Chrome with some twists). There's an extension you can install that allows you to use Chrome extensions as well. ;)
