Ask HN: What are your favorite browser extensions?
My favorites are Wappalyzer (https://wappalyzer.com/) for peaking under the hood of my favorite sites, and vimium (https://vimium.github.io/) for faster browsing. What are yours?

I downloaded the Postman desktop app. Does more, or less the same thing, minus one injected script

NoScript. By default I keep JavaScript disabled. Safer browsing, and, as a highly beneficial side effect, very few ads.
Tried many extensions for vim-like control of my browser, but pentadactyl is by far the most usable. Even without any customisation, just pressing 's' and instantly being able to search with auto completion ('b' for the same across all open tabs) is incredibly useful.
Hopefully it won't be discontinued soon..

In my opinion, the best Vim implementation for the browser.
I tried many .. but this one is incredible.
