Bitwarden

everything else is down to preference.

Double upvote for bitwarden, since OP is switched browser, they defenetly need move all their passwords. No need to use built in Firefox manager. Don't forget to use password export from Chrome.

ah nice I was wondering how to do that. got a lot of passwords in chrome

Also browser password manager couldn't be more unsafe...

honestly it's fine if you're generating different passwords for every service and you're just storing the less important ones there for convenience.

Way too easy to get malware and it scans your whole pc for easy to aquire passwords.
If it's safely encrypted, go for it but I suspect it isnt.

Used to use lastpass before they became paid. I haven't even remembered that until I read your comment. Bitwarden is great.

DeArrow for unsensationalizing YouTube titles and thumbnails

What's the point if having NoScript AND uBlockOrigin? ubo does everything noscript does, but better

Whitelisting.

If you have anyone in your house or on your network that is, shall we say, less tech savvy then this effectively shuts them out of some sites.

And for yourself if you happen to make a miss click it shuts out most passive security risks.

The extension is as dumb or smart as you make it. For most of the users on my network it's functionally retarded, but it works fairly well to prevent missclicks and curiosity fuckups for me as well.
