Gonna start this thread off with CopyQ, which is in my opinion a must have clipboard manager. You can pin/sticky text or images that you use often too. It also works on all desktop OS's.

CopyQ

CopyQ is advanced clipboard manager with editing and scripting features.


Overview
CopyQ monitors system clipboard and saves its content in customized tabs. Saved clipboard can be later copied and pasted directly into any application.

Auto Tab Discard

"Auto Tab Discard" automatically discards inactive tabs after a defined time period to free up memory usage of the tab and to prevent background scripts from using the computational power of your browser when the tab is not being used by the user. This extension uses the native method to discard tabs and hence does not have issues the other similar extensions might suffer from. Also in this method, the discarded tabs will not use any memory at all and will restore to the previous state while preserving page state (like scroll position for instance).
Features
  • Discards inactive tabs after a specified time period
  • Discards all tabs or tabs in the current window per user action
  • Supports white-listing for hostnames that should not go to the discarded state
  • Supports conditional options to prevent tab discarding (pinned tab, media playing, and power connection)

i'm regularly have 300+ tabs open and that consumes a lot of memory so auto tab discard suspends the tab whenever it hasn't been active after a while. you can also keep sites/tabs from being discarded too. by discarded i don't mean the tabs are closed, they'll reload the page once you click on the tab again.

Buster: Captcha Solver for Humans

Buster is a browser extension which helps you to solve difficult captchas by completing reCAPTCHA audio challenges using speech recognition. Challenges are solved by clicking on the extension button at the bottom of the reCAPTCHA widget.

reCAPTCHA challenges remain a considerable burden on the web, delaying and often blocking our access to services and information depending on our physical and cognitive abilities, our social and cultural background, and the devices or networks we connect from.

The difficulty of captchas can be so out of balance, that sometimes they seem friendlier to bots than they are to humans.

The goal of this project is to improve our experience with captchas, by giving us easy access to solutions already utilized by automated systems.

this is a huge time saver if you run up into dozens of captchas a day. once in a while it'll fail to solve but you can reload the page or just right-click on the captcha frame and reload it.

W10Privacy

W10Privacy - for what?!
The by default highly questionable set options concerning privacy and data protection in Windows 10 brought me to the idea to develop this program. Microsoft generously enables everybody to change the concerning settings, but hides them in countless menus, where a normal user does not want to search for!

The program should therefore be a help, to display the available settings relatively clearly and to set the desired options if necessary.
