Going to plug my project Fraidycat here. Feels like it satisfies many of these. http://fraidyc.at/

It compiles RSS feeds and YouTube, Twitter, etc into a dashboard-like view rather than a crowded timeline. No notifications, no algorithm. Just a tool for a human. Easy to “move into the periphery”. Very calm, even when I’m following 100s of people.

Sounded nice, but I couldn't add a twitter account I wanted to follow because of unspecified network issues, so I'll return to it whenever I come across it again.

It might be that you have 'strict tracking' on in Firefox? That's the only issue I know of currently that can cause this.

So all the permission it asks for aren't enough?

Yes, strict tracking will still block extensions. I hate the way permissions work with Fraidycat - I shouldn't need access to your website data to do this, for instance - I just need the ability to access URLs without using your credentials. Unfortunately there doesn't seem to be a permission for that. (Admittedly, I doubt they had something like Fraidycat in mind when designing the web extension API.)
