Summary

Analyze keywords

The "Extension Manager with profiles" enables the user to have control over all the installed extensions in one place. You can define multiple profiles to disable or enable browser extensions in bulk to either free up space in the toolbar area or reduce background usage of the browser. It is even possible to improve your privacy by not running unnecessary extensions when visiting sensitive websites such as your bank account.

Features:

Enable all extensions at once
Disable all extensions at once
Enable a set of extensions with just a single click (profile)
Has as many profiles as you would like to
Copy extensions information into the clipboard
Export profiles to a JSON file and import from it later or on a different machine

Use Cases: [untrusted web] This extension can be used to browser, for instance, unsecured pages. In this case, popup blockers and adblocker extensions must be enabled.

[trusted web] For normal web browsing, the CPU-intensive extensions (mainly content blocker extensions) can be switched off to improve the browser's speed. Note that each extension especially those dealing with adblocking, uses at least one network observer and by nature network observation makes your web browsing experience a bit slow.

Your extension is severely lacking in several areas that I was looking for. 1. Profile of ALWAYS-ON extensions, that stay activated even when disabled in other profiles. This would also mean two profiles being able to be active at the same time. Right now, it's just one at a time. 1b. For each profile, an OVERRIDE/EXCLUSION list, so that a normally always on extension could be disabled ONLY for a specific site. 2. Ability to specify which domains/hostnames activate which profiles automatically. I don't want to manually switch a profile every time. ---For example, a profile named Video Streaming Sites, would enable extensions that support video downloads ---For example, a profile named "Amazon" would enable extensions like Keepa/Camelx3 (price history), Warehouse Deals Inventory, etc 3. Ability to group extensions by folder/group/tag, so that they stick together or can be searched for together. I didn't want an extension that required manually switching profiles, and especially one where there was not an ALWAYS-ON extension list for extensions that I wanted no matter what site I was on. It felt like way too much repetetition. I guess this way I was able to accomplish my exclusion list idea, but a user's preferred extensions change all the time. That would mean going back through all the profiles to make adjustments. Upon uninstall I was redirected to a page asking for feedback. I gave all of this information along with my contact information in case the developer wanted to follow up.

Great extension and quite important when using many extensions. Suggestions: - Be able to copy and rename profiles - Include pinned settings and icon positions.
