Enable extensions in Private or Incognito Mode – Chrome, Firefox, Edge and Chromium

Actually they are not, they are simply disabled and you need to manually enable them one by one. This is not the case with Safari and Firefox. If you cannot locate your extensions while “privately” using Safari or Firefox, you probably removed them completely.
Here is a quick guide that covers the most used and well-known browsers.
