This article lists some browser extensions available for Firefox and/or Chromium.

Installation

Firefox extensions can be installed from addons.mozilla.org and managed at about:addons.

Chrome extensions can be installed from the Chrome Web Store and managed at chrome://extensions/.

Additionally, a few Firefox extensions can be found in the official repositories and some more in the AUR.

To simplify maintenance, this article does not link store pages or AUR packages of extensions. Readers are advised to obtain extensions through the linked official websites if no package is available.

Users should be aware that, in Chromium-based browsers, some extensions listed here aren't supported/functional anymore, after the deprecation of Manifest v2. In such cases, you must either seek alternative extensions or switch to a different browser.

Flash

Adobe Flash Player support ended on 31 December 2020. Most browsers also have stopped supporting plugins, relegating alternatives like lightspark to only work standalone.

On modern browsers, Ruffle is a Flash Player emulator written in Rust, available through the use of WebAssembly. Unlike the defunct Flash Player plugin and Lightspark, Ruffle is only available in browsers as an extension (e.g. for Firefox or Chromium).

To run natively, Ruffle can be installed with one of the ruffle-git or ruffle-nightly-bin packages.
