Some nice Extensions for chrome and Firefox --episode 1:

Privacy

------------------------------------------------------------------------

For me privacy is an important thing, Today companies steal all your info, so its good to regain your privacy and these Plugins listed below can help you start.

here is a list of plugins in this section

uBlock Origin

It isn't just an ad blocker
it can block adds, most of the people use it as an ad blocker but you can use it to block ads,scripts, images, remote fonts, java script, large media elements, you can even block popups if you want, it can simply block all elements in a web page

DuckDuckGo Privacy Essentials

Privacy, simplified
This is their slogan, and trust me, they are doing great, this plugin cant block ads but it can block trackers all around the net and enchant Privacy of the web pages you visit, It gives each website a grade Based on their Privacy

Privacy Badger

Automatically learns to block invisible trackers.
Privacy Badger automatically learns to block invisible trackers. Instead of keeping lists of what to block, Privacy Badger automatically discovers trackers based on their behavior.

Don't track me Google

Removes the annoying link-conversion at Google Search / maps / ...
If you don't want to use DuckDuckgo or StartPage this can help you with google tracking, for example if you search google.com, you will first see a page that tracks you it happens so fast you wont be able to see it but if you hold your cursor on the link you will see that easily it also help with the loading speed of the web page, I still recommend using DuckDuckGo, StartPage or Quant, but if you really want to use Google this Plugin will Help you

Firefox Relay --Temp Mail for chrome

Firefox Relay lets you generate email aliases that forward to your real inbox
We all make many online accounts, but most of them are linked to just one or two email addresses. This means if just one account is hacked, every account using the same email address is also at risk.
Firefox Relay helps you protect your real email address - the one most closely tied to your online identity. It lets you generate unique, random aliases you can use to sign up for accounts, apps, or newsletters, and forwards messages to your real address. If you find that an account is sending unwanted email or spam, you can block the alias and it will stop sending email to your inbox.

uMatrix

Point & click to forbid/allow any class of requests made by your browser
uMatrix put you in full control of where your browser is allowed to connect, what type of data it is allowed to download, and what it is allowed to execute. Nobody else decides for you: You choose. You are in full control of your privacy.
Its for advanced users, so i recommand you use ublock origin instead if you dont know what you are doing

Multi-account Container --Multi Session Box for Chrome

Firefox Multi-Account Containers lets you keep parts of your online life separated into tabs that preserve your privacy.
The Firefox Multi-Account Containers extension lets you carve out a separate box for each of your online lives, It is realy useful for organizing too, It helps you Avoid leaving social-network footprints all over the web

Facebook Container --Just for Firefox

Prevent Facebook from tracking you around the web
I personaly hate Facebook, but if you don't and use it a lot you have to know it uses trackers, Facebook container doesn't block trackers but it makes different container for Facebook and Facebook related sites and items so they cant track all your info, it can be so useful if you use Facebook.

Terms of Service; Didn’t Read

“I have read and agree to the Terms” is the biggest lie on the web. We aim to fix that
Well, I agree with them they are right, Do you read the privacy Policy, if you do that's awesome but you don't have to, This extension helps with that you can use it to find out good information about a sites Privacy Policy that is a summary of the privacy policy of that site and it also gives the site a grade based on the Privacy policy.

Chameleon -- Just for Firefox

Spoof your browser profile
This is one of the most useful ones this extension can easily change your fingerprint, it will be so useful it can change your display size, your OS, and even the timezone you are in.
