P N (ID: 000000b41c234e44) Voted 3 ★ - Updated 08/31/2020 We can disable or re-enable all the extensions in one click. It's useful. But as an extension manager, It should include the logo of the extension, to find them quickly in the list (I know there's a search function, but visually, an icon is a time saver). It should include a way to group extension, and to sync between browser. It's all that I would need.
