That works just fine, thanks!

True, it's just that the extensions list (which in itself is just a
preferences dialog under another name today...) is starting to get
long. So, if every preference is instead masked as an extension, it
just makes that list unmanageable. I suppose that interface will get
an overhaul though.

Yeah, that is how - as you know - Firefox does it. I guess either  the
extensions needs to go this way, or  the interface needs some kind of
sorting/sections/tagging so that you can have a LOT of extensions, all
doing one small thing. "Preferences 2", as it were. That doesn't cover
any eventual settings more than activating/deactivating though.

Couldn't hurt to ask, as you figured out how to do it in Epiphany. :)
