It has often been called "WebExtensions" or "WebExt" for a long time [1].
I wasn't even aware that it's just referred as "browser extensions" on MDN [2] now (..and the URL still uses "WebExtensions" and it's all over the actual article content. So I don't know.) To me, 'WebExt' represents a specific specification within the broader category of browser extensions. However, since all major browsers now support this specification (and this only), it has become the de facto standard. I hope someone more familiar with this topic can provide a more precise explanation [1] https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Glossary/WebExtensi...
