Absolutely. Scripts compromise your activity on the site they're loaded on. Extensions compromise your activity on every single website you go to.

If you're looking at it that way, then we should apply even more scrutiny over native apps we install on our machine and not single out extensions.

Also, not all extensions run on every single site. Also, some extensions actually help in blocking malware, crypto-trackers etc so the potential upsides are also great.
