That's a really good point and something we should be talking about as a tech community. For our extension, it's "active" if you're on a retailer page we support and not active when you're elsewhere on the web. The extension overlays information onto the product page which is why we need to be "active" - we give a food score + show you whether it's compliant with your dietary needs (this one is a paid feature so needs to be unlocked). Doing this allows us to remove the friction around needing to "click" to get the relevant info so our lens is it makes shopping easier, but maybe we're missing something important about privacy. Will you share a bit more about the concerns you'd have with us being able to see your shopping on AmazonFresh for example? To answer your question - I routinely use a few extensions (Honey, Dashlane, and, of course, Sift) but I do find that I'm more selective about Browser Extensions installs than Mobile App installs.
