Absolutely. Especially when you are prompted to install certain browser extensions which collect your personal data potentially with some monetary reward, it is likely that your personal data is going to get exploited without you ever knowing about it.

However, there are certain addons such as Metamask that should be promoted.

These addons help prevent phishing sites, etc., and should be more prominently used.
