I think this is a good idea. Session mode extensions by design should not be local because session mode files can not be local (https://git.gnome.org/browse/gnome-shell/tree/js/ui/ sessionMode.js#n136). > * This means reworking slightly the logic of the DBUS interface so that > 3rd party apps (Tweaks) or browser extension, shows up the correct status > (extensions enabled/disabled, separated by updatable status or not, > separated from error status, system or local user extensions).
