Summary

The "Extension Manager with profiles" enables the user to have control over all the installed extensions in one place. You can define multiple profiles to disable or enable browser extensions in bulk to either free up space in the toolbar area or reduce background usage of the browser. It is even possible to improve your privacy by not running unnecessary extensions when visiting sensitive websites such as your bank account.

Features:

  1. Enable all extensions at once
  2. Disable all extensions at once
  3. Enable a set of extensions with just a single click (profile)
  4. Has as many profiles as you would like to
  5. Copy extensions information into the clipboard

Use Cases: [untrusted web] This extension can be used to browser, for instance, unsecured pages. In this case, popup blockers and adblocker extensions must be enabled.

[trusted web] For normal web browsing, the CPU-intensive extensions (mainly content blocker extensions) can be switched off to improve the browser's speed. Note that each extension especially those dealing with adblocking, uses at least one network observer and by nature network observation makes your web browsing experience a bit slow.
