No, I am 40 plugins all active and they have not changed my browser load time almost at all.
Make sure there are no other issues. If you are on Arch Linux, there is a problem with xdg-desktop-portal-gnome that if installed will slowdown loading of many programs.
Web is not lightweight. I think Gemini could be better, but it’s far from popular. https://drewdevault.com/2020/03/18/Reckless-limitless-scope.html
