The tag [web-extensions] is too similar to [firefox-webextensions]. If you think this new tag should be allowed, discuss it on meta.

Web extensions span far beyond just Firefox browser.

There's Chromium, Chrome, Chrome for Testing, Opera, Brave, Edge, Firefox, and several other browsers, such as Ladybird, et al. There is now a Web Extensions Community Group under the W3C umbrella https://github.com/w3c/webextensions.

Perhaps changing the synonym to firefox-webextensions -> web-extensions?
