Is there a way to disable extensions for the sole purpose of running Lighthouse tests from inside of DevTools?

I recently noticed some of my extensions showing up in my Lighthouse report as being unminified. Is there a setting I can use to ignore these when running in my Chrome DevTools?

The only option available today is to prefer incognito (or an otherwise fresh chrome profile).

Lighthouse doesn't exclude them from table results, but we can't truly exclude their impact and our policy has been to therefore not hide them.

We consider them as third-party in the "third party results" toggleable filter, but that only shows when there are 3p AND non-3p results in an audit (so in your example it doesn't display...)

We do emit this warning when we can detect that a lot of time was spent in extension code:

Chrome extensions negatively affected this page's load performance. Try auditing the page in incognito mode or from a Chrome profile without extensions.
