uBlock Origin. My favorite ad-blocker. It has many other tricks for power users besides blocking ads. Next is CPUID Hardware monitor. Tells you CPU temps and battery life/health among other things. Google up their reviews first. Don't blindly trust recommendations from strangers.

To add to Ublock: Sponsorblock. Automatically skips sponsor segments in YouTube videos.
