Ublock Origin is an obvious one, but I also can't stand not having Foxy Gestures anymore. It adds customizable mouse gestures, so you can set it up to have easy swipes to go back a page, reload a page, close a tab, etc, and it feels wonderful and smooth to use compared to just using the traditional buttons to do everything. Honestly it's kinda wild to me that this isn't more popular now that people are so used to phone gestures. It's good for the same reasons!

Does anyone know of an extension that let's you view privated subs on Reddit? I'm tired of the not being able to access important info because of the blackouts. If anyone knows of an extension or a TamperMonkey script please let me know!

This won't be possible. Best you can do is use something like waybackmachine to get a cached version of the page.

Shame, thank you though I will be sure to try the wayback machine!

I find punching "cache:" before the url into google gets me the most recent comments. A lot of the time wayback will only have an archive of when the thread was created.
