Is there anything that disables / stops sticky videos when scrolling on mobile?
I get pissed off when I'm reading a news article, scroll down, and their headline video (often just an ad) clips itself to the top 1/3 of the screen.

In general:
- Bypass Paywalls
- Dark Reader
- HTTPS Everywhere
- I don't care about Cookies
- Karrinator
- KeePassXC Browser
- NoScript
- Simple Tab Groups
- Tampermonkey
- UBlock
- UnloadTabs (Vor allem für Müll wie MS Teams)
- User Agent Switcher and Manager
- Vencord
- Video Download Helper
For YouTube:
- AutoReplay for YouTube
- Disable YouTube Seek by Number
- Return YouTube Dislike
- SponsorBlock
Most of those Addons are for me to not go insane or blind.
Firefox already has HTTPS Everywhere functionality built in these days

uBlock Origin and Mouse Gestures.
Literally all I have ever used. I love mouse gestures so much because of Opera. I was using that for a bit before I discovered Firefox back in the day.
You should go through the suggestions made on this post. They are great. Maybe, sometime later I'll create a list and add it to this post's description later.
Lots of great extensions have been listed already, but here's one that I haven't seen mentioned yet and I really like: https://unhook.app/
Nice! UnHook removes YouTube recommended videos, related videos, comments, video suggestions wall, homepage recommendations, trending tab & comments
Tab Stash.
Aside from the popular ublock origin I'd get Sponsor Block. Too bad my mobile version doesn't support it.

Others have already mentioned some excellent vertical tab add-ons, so I'll post Tabs Aside, which is a super convenient way to save and load a window full of tabs. Saves having like 20 windows open with different stuff you don't want to lose.
Neat, I'll try this. I don't think the others save entire browser windows. So, maybe this has a different use.
Stylus has been a pretty newish one for me, been using it a lot to make Lemmy feeds wider and take up my entire screen
There's also a convert webp to anything extension that is really handy to have
Video download helper is cool too

There are definitely people who don't know what adblockers are and the beauty of uBlock.
The Internet is not the same without it.
And Google is trying very hard to break this gem.
Ever since Twitch Now stopped working, I found Gumbo which is working really well.
