I'll start.

Honey (finds coupons and automatically applies them and checks best pricing online)

Grammarly (essentially a spell checker)

Scribe (screenshot recorder)

Tab Suspender (basically pauses any tabs you have open to free up system resources)

What is your "go to" browser extension?

ByPass Paywalls.

ETA TamperMonkey if you are adept at writing scripts too.

Agreed, however, my anti-virus program has a built-in ad blocker that does a really good job. Also, my VPN has this feature as well.

Some believe Grammarly to be a significant security risk. It is always "listening" for mistakes, so it has to know everything you typed. That means it could record passwords and other sensitive info. I'm not saying I believe that, but some people believe it.

I could see why some might think this way. I'm sure it is possible, but hopefully not probable. I still like the app and find it useful.
