The only extension I cannot live without other than an adblocker is Mouse Gestures.
Is there a way to do credit card autocomplete on the iOS app? It’s the only reason I haven’t made the switch

LibreWolf is Firefox without Mozilla telemetry, and with privacy settings on by default. Consider switching.
Be aware that the more extensions you add, the easier it is for websites to fingerprint (identify) you.
LW is great - comes with UBO pre-installed. The only thing I'd say about it is that, for Linux users, avoid the appimage as its a bit twitchy and forgets settings sometimes.
Used it for a while, but it seems to have issues when using the Dark Reader extension and I cannot handle staring at white pages at night
This is a switch I made yesterday, but instead of Chrome to Firefox, I switched from Vivaldi (Chrome, but kinda like old Opera) to Floorp (japanese fork of Firefox with focus on privacy and sane defaults).
I got Sponsorblock for YouTube, uBlock Origin for ads and Gesturify for those awesome mouse gestures (my main reason for using an Opera-like).
Sometimes, I use Tampermonkey for misc Scripts on different Pages, so I installed that aswell. But for now, no scripts for Tampermonkey, as I primarily focus on setting it up to be more like Vivaldi.
Other addons are Ghostery for more privacy and Session Buddy to prevent oopsies when playing around with Tabs and windows.
Floorp even has dark mode for bright pages already included in the box.
Based on what I've read here on Lemmy, people generally tend to recommend agaåinst Ghostery, check this for one example : https://lemm.ee/comment/4348493
Cookies: Cookie autodelete or Forget me not
Block site (so you're not sent where you don't want to go)
Wayback Machine (if you use it much)
Audio equalizer (to better understand mumbly / old Youtube audio)
Dark background and light text (so you don't go blind)
It's the an extension for Google Passwords? It's my password manager for all my devices.
I would love to switch to Firefox, but I don't want to open chrome every time I need a to retrieve/save a password.
Switching to Bitwarden takes minutes. Export from Google, import to Bitwarden. They have a phone app too which will sync with your browser one.
Switch to BitWarden, then use this tutorial to get your passwords from Chrome into BitWarden.
It has a web, desktop and mobile app and also a Firefox extension, which are all here.

Panorama Tabs! My favorite tab organizer. Also Dark Reader.
Surprised noone mentioned NoScript yet. It requires a bit more user interaction. But if you are worried about privacy and maybe security, it is important to know who is running scripts on your machine.
