I would love to find extensions that make me think "How did I live without this?"

While we're on the subject, does anyone know of a way to block those scroll triggered pop-ups that are everywhere these days? You know the ones, you get a little bit down a page, then:

Any help is greatly appreciated.

In the uBlock Origin Settings -> Filter Lists check lists named "annoyances" and "newsletters" or try other additional ones. That should help.

I actually check and recommend using all lists. This is especially useful when you use VPN. Also if you want more security use separate browser profile just for VPN.

You can try PopUpOFF. It's not perfect and can be over-aggressive at hiding legitimate popups but it's worth a try.
