Password Management

• 📝 BitWarden is a free password manager that stores complex passwords for multiple websites, requiring only one master password to remember.
• 🔒 To set a secure password for the password manager, think of a phrase that means something to you, such as a favorite quote or historical event, and capitalize the first letter of each word.

Ad Blockers

• 🚫 uBlock Origin is a fast and efficient ad blocker that can be tweaked to block cookie notices by turning on specific lists in the settings.
• 📵 Ghosty is another ad blocker that works on phones, providing similar blocking capabilities on mobile devices, although it may not work as well as on PCs.
• 🙅‍♂️ I Don't Care About Cookies is an extension that can block cookie notices, working even better than uBlock Origin filters in some cases.

Additional Tools
