It's just giving me a list of 'recommended' addons. How do I find the ones that aren't recommended?

Terrible design, by the way. This was definitely made just to make developers' lives easier.

Fix: I was using an older version by mistake. Updating shows the option to get more addons than just the recommended ones at the bottom.

Kind of weird it wasn't included for awhile.

Generally don't install extensions unless you really need them and they are well regarded. Otherwise it's like looking for new prescription drugs or medical procedures. The browser is a huge attack surface.
