2025 starter kit. Although manifest v3 will fuck things up in a June, at least for Chromium users (minus Brave).

Shinigami Eyes is also not a bad shout, but I took a look at the github issue tracker and I can't make out from some of the posts there if it's still good or if it's compromised.

EDIT: Regarding paywalls, I used to use https://github.com/Angeloyo/PaywallHub but it has closed down due to (big surprise) legal threats. I guess https://www.removepaywall.com/ is the better alternative.

Privacy Badger is also nice to have

it does a good job on blocking as much trackers as it can

I've just been using OptMeOwt for the GPC flag feature, but it looks like Privacy Badger (PB) does that and a lot more, nice. I use Vivaldi that already blocks trackers and have a primitive adblocker, so I don't know how much PB will help, but I'll give it a shot.
