> Without looking, can you name more than half of the extensions you have installed right now?
Sure.
uBlock Origin, Multi-containers, Temporary Containers and cookies.txt on Firefox, which I only use for specific purposes. History and all data is wiped frequently.
None on Chromium, which I always use in incognito mode. I use this daily, but don't need even uBlock on it, since I run a DNS ad blocker on my network.
And none on my main browser, Luakit, since it doesn't support extensions. :) Technically, I have some user scripts, which I've all reviewed or written myself.
Browser extensions are the number one security and privacy risk for all users, more than any OS exploits. The fact they've historically been handled so poorly, and these issues exist even today, should be terrifying.
