Remember visibility setting for extensions
Currently viewers can make an extension invisible via the extension taskbar but this setting does not persist. There are some channel extensions that I find useful and others that I find to be intrusive.
My only option to remove intrusive extensions presently is to disable them all (by automatically removing the extension-content and extension-taskbar divs). It is a shame to have to disable the functionality entirely for the sake of a few irritations.

I took a break from a lot of my favorite channels when Borderlands 3 launched, because the repeated overlay popup was insufferable.
The default should be for a hidden extension to remain hidden on all future visits to the same channel (even a Refresh currently brings the extension back), but there should also be a viewer setting to auto-hide the same extension when encountered on other channels.
Additionally, viewers should be able to set "auto-hide ALL extensions" as a persistent setting, and add exceptions on a per-extension/per-channel basis.

It is pretty sad that the platform can not remember an extension visibility setting from one stream to the next.
Tobii Ghost in particular uses a LOT of resources to run. I am so sick of having to disable it repeatedly.
I would really LOVE a way to disable a specific extension from even being loaded at all. But it would be nice if it just respected the fact that I have already disabled it.
