I’m looking for:

-One for link shortcuts (like Quick Links)

-One that helps with PDFs and maybe converts stuff into PDFs.

-A highlighter addon/extension

-Best “read-aloud” extension

-Some note-taking addon/extension

-Best video downloader

-Anything that helps with language learning.

-A sound recording thing.

-Anything that helps keep track of times and tasks.

-Dictionary or word-listing addon.

-Anything that helps with bookmarking and saving articles.

-And anything that helps with reading.

One last thing:

Can you toggle off the extensions/addons so that they won’t take up any RAM or memory? Like, shut them off and they won’t factor into the output of the computer or browser?

Thanks!

Also, which ones do you think are the most useful in terms of addons/extensions?

          Then you could definitely just use standalone software. Some personal recommendations:

          • for a video downloader, youtube-dl (or yt-dlp, etc.) is the absolute best (AFAIK). I haven’t personally used a GUI version, but they exist
          • for document conversion, pango is very versatile, but I don’t know if there’s a GUI
          • for note-taking, use Vim any text editor

          You might as well use a Firefox/Chromium-based browser (including Edge, I think, if you want to use the default browser and don’t mind it being closed-source) since they have massive libraries of plugins. The one addon I recommend for any user is uBlock Origin (much faster than other ad blockers like ABP)
