Google Chrome may still be miles ahead of other browsers in popularity and speed, but Mozilla's Firefox is still a great choice if you value your privacy and want to reduce your exposure to Google. While Chrome can watch your every move and send it to Google, Firefox has no built-in user tracking and methods to disable internet tracking.
Firefox also has a robust selection of add-ons to simplify your life, so if you depend on a number of Chrome extensions, you can rest certain that Firefox can be configured as helpful. We have compiled ten of the greatest to get you started.
Reverse Image Search using TinEye
Google's reverse image search is a valuable tool for locating the original versions of web photographs, but it has restrictions. TinEye excels at dealing with images that have been cropped or modified.
TinEye employs image recognition technology, allowing it to detect altered copies of photos readily. It is ideal for finding sites exploiting your work without permission and locating legal copies of photos you can license for your own usage.
Stylus
Your favorite website's appearance can be improved by Stylus if you're unhappy. You may use it to inject new CSS into unattractive websites and restyle them so that they are more visually acceptable. In addition to developing your own styles if you know CSS, for those less technically savvy, you can also install custom themes from famous web repositories.
React Developers
React is a must-have framework for every JavaScript developer, but if you haven't mastered it yet, here's an amazing resource to help you get up to speed.
React Developer Tools is an extension of Firefox's dev tools. It allows you to analyze a site's React tree, including its component hierarchy, props, and state, to determine how everything works together. Often, the easiest method to learn to code is by examining existing examples, and this resource gives a plethora of examples at your fingers.
EPUBReader
Bring ebooks effortlessly to the browser Image courtesy of EPUBReader.
Many excellent free ebooks are available, but reading them might be difficult without the proper gadget. Find an ePub file online, click on it, and Firefox will automatically download, process, and display it in your browser window. It is also compatible with any ePub files that you have previously downloaded.
Measure-it
Rapidly determine the size of any place (Image credit: Measure-it)
Responsive web design means you no longer need to be as precise with image sizes as you did in the fixed-width web's heyday, but Measure-it is still useful in your web design arsenal. It allows you to drag a ruler over any web page to determine the width and height of page elements in pixels, making it great for producing pixel-perfect mockups and wireframes, among other applications.

A few well-designed macros may greatly simplify your life by reducing tiresome and repeated procedures to a single click that instantly completes everything.
And with iMacros installed, you can bring the delight of macros to the browser; no matter what you want to do, fill out yet another online form, or extract text and pictures from a website, you can record a macro to do the job on your behalf. The free edition of iMacros is limited to 50 activities and has minor restrictions; if you find it helpful and need more functionality, check out the commercial versions.
FireShot
Without an extension, capturing screenshots of websites may be tedious, particularly if you want to capture a lengthy page at once. FireShot is the most adaptable method we've discovered for capturing online screenshots; we love it on Chrome, and it's just as wonderful on Firefox.
With Fireshot, you may take a snapshot of a complete page, the viewable portion of the page, or a specific region of the screen if you're very fussy. After editing a picture with FireShot, you may save it or copy it to paste into an image editor.
ColorZilla
ColorZilla is a fantastic tool for dealing with color in the browser, and it's another extension that we already like for Chrome. Find a color palette you like. You may use ColorZilla's eyedropper tool or sophisticated color picker to capture color values from anywhere on the page swiftly, or you can use ColorZilla's webpage color analyzer to construct a palette based on a website. Even its palette viewer and CSS gradient generator are included.
SEOQuake
If your site isn't receiving the desired number of page views, install SEOQuake on Firefox and determine what you can do to increase its visibility. It gives essential tools such as SEO Audit to help you nail your Google mojo, a keyword density tool to assist you in determining the search phrases to target, and keeps you abreast of the most recent Google algorithm modifications.
Dark Reader
Dark Reader is a pleasure for eyestrain. Are you having problems sleeping? You may have been staying up late to see websites that deceive your brain into believing it's time to be up. Install Dark Reader to show your eyes some affection; it allows you to create dark custom settings for your favorite websites, reversing bright colors and making them much easier to see at night.
