That's like asking how long is a piece of string, since everyone's needs
are different. However I can comment that I currently have 22 add-ons
installed and enabled, and another half dozen or so installed but
disabled.
And are all extensions equal, in the loads
they add, whether to speed or to stability? (I doubt that, come to
think
of it.)
Obviously not. FlagFox shows a little flag for the country of the
website you're visiting, and I doubt it takes as many resources as some
Gmail add-ons I have.
Is there any way to identify, or even guess, which ones are prime
candidates for jettisoning?
Not as far as I know. It would be a Good Thing (tm) of course.
