I came to the article hoping to see the list of affected extensions, so I can check if I ever installed any of them. All I get was a list of extension ID at the very bottom of the post. Is this some sort of security practice to not promoting malicious packages or something?

you can search your file system for those extension id's , it will be a directory name.
Its more about the likely target audience: i can scan the whole enterprise and activate blocks with those ids.
That's my first thought, but it would still be helpful to have a list of names, since many people has switched browsers many times in the past, or used many different devices personally.
I made a list of the extension names here https://pastebin.com/eXb9GRjK
