Has a browser team ever considered the possibility of creating allowlists for
extensions only on certain websites? A native implementation of something like
uMatrix that also worked on extensions could help end users at least remove
slowdowns on sites they need to be performant.

I typically run a number of extensions:

duckduckgo privacy essentials, ublock origin, privacy badger, and whatever
built-in firefox has.

Perhaps this is overkill but they all cover slightly different things.

In my experience, PB pretty much does nothing. UBO already blocks trackers and
social media buttons, and if it doesn’t, you can turn on those filters. PB
doesn’t even block the trackers until it “learns” that they are trackers, it
just avoids sending cookies (which doesn’t stop facebook from fingerprinting
you.) The best method would probably turning off 3rd party scripts and iframes
in UBO, but that does mean you have to un-break a lot of sites. An extension
like cookie autodelete would also do much more than PB, since, if you have no
cookies, they can’t be sent.

Edit: I realized that I sound like I’m bashing PB too much. PB is definitely
better than nothing, and doesn’t break any sites, but there are better things
you can do which make PB obsolete.

 In my experience, PB pretty much perform nothing. UBO already blocks trackers and 
 social media buttons, and if it does n’t, you can call on on those filters. PB 
 does n’t even block the trackers until it “ learns ” that they are trackers, it 
 just avoids sending cookies (which does n’t stop facebook from fingerprinting
