duck duck go is not a browser.. use firefox-esr on debian please! or "tor-browser" without extension

It's obvious, giving to some extension permission to see all websites you visit is not a good idea for your security. If you're interested in anonymity, do not use Chrome at all.

some extensions can record our data

i agree you should avoid extensions when possible, although you shouldnt use google spyware anyway, there are so many better browsers and search engines available it should be a nobrainer

I just use the extensions when i need it ,and stop it when useless

My advice here is: use Brave, install as few extensions as possible, and only the ones that are largely used (+ bonus if you can install it from a GitHub repo directly)

wallet chrome extensions users storing their life saving on a bunch of js in an insecure browser this is for you

It's too easy to bypass google store verification, they need to try harder.

I know.. NEVER use chrome.   I'm agree

The answer is quite simple, if you do not trust the developer then built your extension then you have more control over the code.
