While Chrome extensions are usually carefully selected, there’s still the possibility of some of them compromising your privacy and security. Keep these things in mind when choosing extensions that don’t hinder safe browsing:
The extension ratings score should be checked. Choose extensions with fewer than 4.3 stars.
Read user reviews to find out if they are good extensions.
Only install products that are reliable. You can find out who created it.
Please take your time to read all permissions required by extensions. Remember that if you are asked for permission by an extension you already have installed, it may be suspicious and could compromise your security.
Do not install too many extensions. You should only install what you actually need. Otherwise, your browser may become slow.
If your browser is slowing down after installing an extension, be suspicious.
