Some of the spiciest:

* Anti-Zionist Tag (directly inferring political opinion)

* PordaAI (Islamic content filter)

* simplify (browsergate.eu specifically called out as a neurodivergent accessibility tool. Job search autofill that markets itself as particularly useful for people who struggle with forms)

* No more Musk ("Hides digital noise related to Elon Musk")

* Political Circus ("Politician -> Clown AI Filter")

* Job application trackers and utils ("Job Follow-Up Tracker" etc)

* Various "Distraction Blocker" type addons

LinkedIn scanning for tools that scrape LinkedIn:

* LinkedIn Cookie Sync for Headhunting Agent

* LinkedIn Cookie importer for Derrick (lol "for Derrick")

* MailMatics Cookie Grabber

* LinkedIn Fake Job Post Detector. Yes, they're detecting an addon that exposes fake job postings on their own platform.

*NOT* in the list, if you were wondering:

* Shinigami Eyes

* Dark Reader

* Adblockers

* Password managers

* FoxyProxy

* User-Agent spoofers, request modification tools, etc

* Most privacy/security tools (no uBO, no Privacy Badger, no FoxyProxy, no NoScript, etc.

For the latter category, the most interesting things there we found *were* searched-for are BuiltWith Technology Profiler, and some browser addons bundled from scanners (e.g. "Malwarebytes Browser Guard Beta").
