I visited a website that said that this guy doesn't understand a lot about security, that he was paid outside to speak well of some companies, people asked questions like: how does this guy have 142 thousand followers? What do you think about him? I would like the opinion of some members

I don't see any extension in this video which increase security.

To be fair Whois Lookup can be considered as a security extension if you know what you are looking for.

Strange, can't find it either. I use Flagfox in Firefox, but I can't find a good alternative for Chrome based browsers... The best I found for chrome might be this one:

Country Flags & IP Whois - Chrome Web Store

Displays country flag of website's server location, Whois and Geo info

chrome.google.com

Whois information are restricted to extremely basic details since years already. This also don't stop your browser connecting to the site and a substantial risk exists that you will miss checking that site.
No security improvement in any way.

Better blocking new registered domains like NextDNS do.

Can't argue with that. Would like to see Leos answer to this.

What a disappointing video! Pretty sure he didn't have any plan to make such a video. It seems basically, Malwarebytes recently paid him a lot of money to make a video about their VPN and he thought, how can I make it less obvious! So he added some extensions into the mix and created this video.

A home user never would know how to use it.

Less is more for privacy. Extensions can 'read your browsing history', change search engines and manipulate search results.
