I use only uBolckOrigin. Nothing more...

I use a few, but none that were listed as malicious. I'm fairly careful and test out any extensions I like the sound of before going with them, but do like adding several in order to get the full functionality that I prefer (lastpass & umatrix, with bookmarks menu for ease of access to bookmarks, user-agent-switcher for chrome so that it shows my actual OS not just generic linux, some form of autoscrolling, some form of mouse gestures, auto history wipe because I don't like it storing cookies when I close browser, and blank new tab page because I like a blank new tab with nothing in it)

Dont use any extensions but Im also not a Chrome user, as i use Firefox mainly.

I'm back to using mostly firefox (when I work from home, I keep all my work stuff in Chromium and personal in Firefox), but until FF57, IMO Firefox performance was unusable. LIterally would become unresponsively slow on my 8 core 32 GB ram machine just trying to browse with more than 3 tabs opened it was so poorly coded anymore. So I had been forced to abandon it, and was using Chromium & Chrome as my 2 browsers (Chrome has since been removed from all machines as Firefox is once again usable).

I nuse Chrome/Chromium as backups but until FF57 I wasnt using Firefox much
