Was wondering if the Firefox Extensions I'm using are good? Or if there are any I should get rid of/use alternatives to? Thanks

I can’t wait til the built in translation engine can work with Chinese. I’m sure it’s a ways off, especially since the research and funding is being done with support from the EU, so there’s an interest to getting European languages done first. For now I’ll have to stick with Google on that front :/

I wonder what’s the difference with the first filterlist you’ve shared

I think the one I shared is a basically a copy of what CleanURLs does, which the one you’ve shared may be more complete and kept up to date.
