The only extensions I have are privacy extensions. Do people on here really install a bunch of random 3rd party extensions?

Privacy extensions can be crap too. Cutting off web-based analytics makes the telemetry from those users much more valuable.

Ghostery anyone?

I wouldn't class The Great Suspender as a "random 3rd party extension", it's a performance tool.
