I recently deleted all of my extension off all three browsers (Chrome, Firefox, and Safari). The ad blocking on Firefox is almost as good as Ublock Origin. I found privacy badger to be largely useless.

The only thing I miss is lastpass, but I've gotten used to having it run as a desktop app.

Containers in Firefox were nice, but I've also gotten used to switching accounts.

The fact that extensions get 100% access to everything on your page (including password forms) is just a no-go for me. I have to draw the line somewhere.

You still have to trust your browser and your OS.

Obviously. That's why I said "I have to draw the line somewhere".

I trust my browser and OS more than extensions.

Your security posture is probably different than mine.

Well if you're worried about chain of trust, you could only use recommended extensions on Firefox. They're manually reviewed so you're still only really trusting the organization that runs your browser.

Bonus point if you download the extensions and manually review it yourself.

My comment wasn't clear sorry. I was thinking about privacy, not security.

What I meant is that if you use a commercial OS and browser (and your ISP too) they're still going to exfiltrate your web activity to their servers.
