I'm good, to be honest.
I mean, the modern web browser is so feature creeped that the few extensions I do install really just make it work like I need it to and don't add anything. Adguard removes the ads. Kagi Search sets the search engine to Kagi. React and Vercel show me useful debug into in, you guessed it, React and Vercel.
And while we're on the topic, who actually uses Grammarly? Like, genuinely? Is spelling correctly such a big problem in so many people's lives? Sure, the dyslexics are here and there, and maybe you have a few hangups and are an otherwise decent typist, but how many people have to struggle with writing words for an extension like Grammarly to become financially viable?
Also, wasn't Grammarly just renamed to Superhuman or something?

I understand Grammarly is popular with students. Many colleges and universities make it available to their students for free. I'd find it a little heavy for conversational use, but for more serious writing I'd appreciate having a review pass.
As a heads up, you can set the default search engine, as well as custom search keywords in almost all browsers. So you may be able to drop the Kagi extension from your lineup.
With everything we do in the browser, it’s also important to remember that every extension you install is a security vulnerability. Most have access to all of the pages you access.

Half of what PrintFriendly does is already done via reader mode in Firefox. It strips the page to just content, no ads or interactable sections, and I can choose the color scheme and font to match...
Half of what PrintFriendly does is already done via reader mode in Firefox. It strips the page to just content, no ads or interactable sections, and I can choose the color scheme and font to match my needs. I get that it also lets you reformat for printing (hence the name) but that's not a common use case. Just use reader mode in the browser before adding another extension.
The rest of the list felt similar. Scribe could be nice but I wouldn't be surprised if I could do a better job myself. Grammarly is only going to be useful if I'm doing a lot of writing via the browser, which I usually don't. DarkReader is known to break formatting on some sites. Glasp seems useful as well, but I also try to dedicate time to actually consuming the original content. Summaries lose nuance, and I don't trust an AI to get it.

So yeah, I'm good too.
