My only problem is I don't know how to test the extension. It "Prevents browser fingerprinting by spoofing your plugins, languages and user agent." Is there a way to test it?

the browser has a leak that exposes the operating system, through the string headers.sec-ch-ua-platform.name present in the headers and must be modified, the use of this extension does not guarantee protection since the leak is in the headers, and this parameter has not been modified,
