I use some of those extensions also. I have Ghostery, uBlock Origin, Adblock Plus and NoScript. No script has saved me from myself multiple times. When I've accidentally clicked a dodgy link, the page usually comes up blank. There was no extension in Chrome that did the same, so I'm a lot more wary with Chrome. NoScript allows for parts of the page to show that don't have scripts. Chrome seems to show all or nothing. In Chrome, I tried uMatrix and got mostly nothing while ScriptBlock and ScriptSafe showed mostly everything.

I also use the feature built in Firefox to delete history and cookies on every Firefox close. Chrome also doesn't have this feature. The best I can do to duplicate it is to go incognito in Chrome so that cookies and history aren't saved. That's very inconvenient for every visit.
