Why use any extensions ever?



Because extensions can provide useful functionality that's not provided by the browser. For instance, ad blocking or developer tools.


Chromium has all the dev tools I need OOTB. Adblock? Perhaps one risk I'll take on extensions. What else? Nothing. Unnecessary shit for people who want to configure every detail but can't be bothered to hack it themselves with uzbl or one of its equivalents.


Or a browser for that matter.
