Description: Maintaining pages in this blog with lists of their favourite extensions for web browsers and tools, including Firefox, Chromium/Edge, and Visual Studio Code.

I sometimes forget that, in most blog engines or at least on the one powering this site ([pelican](https://blog.getpelican.com/)), exists the concept of *page* and *post*, where a post appears on the homepage (sorted by newer publish date) and in the RSS feed, but a page doesn't (simply exists at a given URL). It is a nice distinction that allows me to maintain atemporal content that I often maintain from time to time, but discoverability is not perfect (again, at least via this blog engine). What I maintain as pages are either special lists, gathered at the [Archives section](https://blog.kartones.net/archives.html), or certain special sections like the [Contact link](https://blog.kartones.net/page/contact/) at the footer of the site.

What I really meant to say with the previous paragraph is that I forgot to write a post mentioning that I actively maintain pages with lists of my favourite extensions for web browsers and tools:

- [Firefox add-ons/extensions](https://blog.kartones.net/page/firefox-addons/): I use FFox for personal browsing, so extensions are mostly focused on privacy.
- [Chromium/Edge extensions](https://blog.kartones.net/page/chrome-addons/): I use Chromium-based browsers for work and hobby development, but also like to try disabling javascript, blocking content and the like.
- [Visual Studio Code extensions](https://blog.kartones.net/page/vscode-extensions/): My all-the-things-IDE for the last years. I use it both for work and personal stuff, and decided to not remove old extensions I no longer use (like the Java Pack, or VS Live Share), so it is rich and varied in content 😄. I also have an almost "copy+paste ready" dump of my `settings.json` to not have to be doing online syncs. Oh, and tiny hints, and my preferred themes for day and night development... Varied things, as anyone can see 😉


So here it is, a post mentioning some the existing pages that I probably hadn't explicitly mentioned before. I plan to add a few more pages soon (at least one or two related with operating systems), so from now on I will make sure to always write a companion post "announcing" them.
