It's unclear exactly what's going on here. It could be a good idea or a bad idea.

Good idea: When accessing the login page for an important service, the user should be warned before low-trust extensions are enabled, to reduce the chance of hostile extensions stealing user credentials.

Bad idea: Allowing web site operators to dictate what extensions users may use on those sites.
