Abstract
The proliferation of browser extensions in contemporary web browsers has significantly altered the landscape of user experience and performance.This research endeavors to empirically investigate the impact of browser extensions on web browsing performance, focusing on factors such as page load times, memory consumption, and overall responsiveness. Through a comprehensive analysis of popular browser extensions across different platforms and browsers, coupled with rigorous performance testing methodologies, this study aims to provide insights into the extent to which browser extensions affect the browsing experience. By shedding light on the performance implications of these extensions, this research seeks to inform users, developers, and browser vendors about potential trade- offs and optimizations that can enhance the efficiency and usability of web browsing. The findings of this study are anticipated to contribute to the ongoing discourse on web browser performance optimization and aid in the development of strategies to mitigate the negative impact of browser extensions on user experience
