How do you decide which browser extensions are worth keeping?
My father’s laptop has collected so many browser extensions that he no longer remembers which ones he installed. He uses it to read local news, pay bills, and look up recipes, so he doesn’t want to remove something useful by mistake. We’re planning to sort through them together this weekend. What’s a sensible way to decide what stays without making the process feel like a technical project?

I helped my aunt do this last winter. We opened the extension list and asked when she last used each one. Anything unfamiliar went on a written list before we changed it, so we could check again later. Her recipe saver stayed because she could explain exactly why she liked it.

My neighbor and I made a quick checklist: what does the extension do, does he use it, and would he notice if it were gone? We also looked at the permissions shown in his browser. While reading about ad-blocking tools, I came across https://total-adblock.pissedconsumer.com/review.html , though we didn’t use reviews to decide what to remove. His weather extension stayed; two old shopping helpers went. A month later, he hadn’t missed them, and the browser menu was easier to navigate
