GNOME Shell Extensions allow you to add/modify features in Gnome Desktop. Gnome Desktop is used by Ubuntu.
Shell Extensions are stored in folder
/home/USER/.local/share/gnome-shell/extensions
On Ubuntu 20.04, i installed NoAnnoyance extension. This prevent Annoying Windows Ready notification.
https://extensions.gnome.org/extension/1236/noannoyance/
To install an extension, go to the web page of the extension, you will be asked to install a browser extension. Once browser etxtension installed, you need to install
sudo apt install chrome-gnome-shell
This is same for both Google Chrome and Firefox. Now you can go to any extension page, select “ON/OFF” button on the page to install an extension.
