Reviews are mathematical garbage even there are real reviewers because we all have different expectations and it varies completely across cultures and geographies.
I once watched a movie where the rating was "do you like the item on the left more than on the right". I'm not sure if it is mathematically possible to create a rank from it. I assume, that new items appear and have less comparisons than others.
I'm surprised anyone ever installs browser extensions, given how many malicious extensions exist, and how intrusive they are whether malicious or not.
My team recently built a Chrome extension and expected to be grilled on permissions. We sailed through despite requesting access to all sorts of things. Their vetting seems strict from the outside, but does not seem like it after going through the process.

And yes, I think it's much better than reviews that ask for an absolute scale with no context.

It seems but it doesn't seem? Sorry I can't figure out the typo

edit: I guess the signal "I tried this extension but replaced it with that other one which I like better" would be very informative though

I'm not sure what you mean by non-malicious extensions being intrusive. I use a number of extensions, mostly content-blocking and privacy-related and they mostly just get out of my way. The Firefox Extension Store also has a recommended extensions feature that shows that the extension has been reviewed by Mozilla for privacy and security. Most extensions I use have this seal.
