You still have to trust your browser and your OS.
Obviously. That's why I said "I have to draw the line somewhere". I trust my browser and OS more than extensions. Your security posture is probably different than mine.
What I meant is that if you use a commercial OS and browser (and your ISP too) they're still going to exfiltrate your web activity to their servers.

In Firefox you can choose for every extension if it is allowed to work in private mode.
But this ties me to use private mode everytime I visit an important site. This is not what I want.

Excellent, I hadn't noticed that one yet. Yeah, that's a good start.

If its trivial what's stopping you from doing it?

Lately I ended up running much fewer extensions than I used to, and actually looking at their source first. I think the only closed-source extension I run is lastpass, and I'm evaluating open-source alternatives. How do people who cannot read code even cope, I don't know.
I signed up for LastPass a couple of weeks ago, and they started sending me spammy emails every single day. I went into account settings and disabled the emails, and they kept coming. I opened a support thread on their forum, linking many other similar threads going back several years, and saying that they have to fix this under GDPR... Silence. I deleted my account and switched to BitDefender. Still getting the Last…

You meant to say bitwarden? Afaik Bitdefender Is an Antivirus.
A majority of these extensions just seem to be ways to deal with shitty JavaScript. IMO, NoScript is really the only one you need.
NoScript gets old fast when websites are breaking left and right.
