Did you try to set the extension to "run on click"? Right-click extension icon, "This can read and change site data" -> "When you click the extension". I didn't try it myself (it might require reloading the page), but might be an option for 1000:1 browse to clip ratio.

Awesome - Didn't know about this trick. I'm reconfiguring most of the my extensions to this.

Gracias!

I just tried it and it doesn't seem to work in Version 83.0.4103.106 (Official Build) (64-bit).

When I clicked on EditThisCookie it said there were no cookies when it was set to "when you click this extension", but when I changed it to "all sites" it showed me cookies.

Too bad.
