A website or extension is just a code to control the user's browser. End capabilities vary by browser. You can write your own browser that doesn't allow any tracking, uses encryption, meshes, and stuff like that.

An extension, especially - bundled with additional software - yes, that's right, for example, the Dell website offers you the necessary drivers after you have installed a small program for yourself.
