I really enjoy Firefox on Android as I can install a bunch of extensions and I find those extensions game changer, especially on the mobile.

One of my favorites are

Libredirect - literally one of my favorite ones. Redirects popular sites to privacy focused frontends, like YouTube to Invidious, etc.
uBlock Origin - I guess everyone knows this one
Privacy Badger - blocks trackers
Ghostery - blocks trackers, ads, scripts, etc.

What extensions do you guys use?

Nope. Why would it?

I would imagine many services would think you're hijacking the session or something.

No, that would he a very dumb system. Because it would false positive every time someone changed their user agent, which is a common defense tactic in today's threat landscape.

You don't want to ban someone for protecting themselves. But I'm sure there are dumb execs who have thought this was a good idea until someone on the sec team slapped them and said "no"
