Yes VPN browser extensins are BS just as Proxies just within the browser I would say. All that nice stuff Firefox offers should just be done on the OS level with systemd resolved.

But the Tor network is not controlled by the NSA. The NSA is in ways also just a security agency. Tor is open source. Its very likely that the NSA, China, Russia etc. run their own servers though.
