Or imagine your browser as a superhero team. Every extension is a sidekick. Some are useful, like a flashlight or a map. But if you have twenty sidekicks just standing around, they trip over each other. Time to let a few go back to their home planet.
A quick trick: The “Cognito” Check
Not sure if an app is worth keeping? Use Incognito mode. Extensions usually don’t run there. If your browser feels faster or cleaner in incognito, you know exactly who the troublemakers are. It’s like a personality test for your browser.
