Mozilla Firefox uses add-ons. World of Warcraft uses Addons. Seems to use
add-on and addon but addon seems to be the primary one. Kodi uses Add-ons,
but similarly to Mozilla, uses addons in URL. React also uses add-ons, but
leaves out the dash for code and URLs. Gravity Forms uses Add-Ons in text
and add-ons in URL. Ninja Forms also uses Add-Ons, but has extensions in
the URL.

Wikipedia prefers plug-in and add-on, but e.g. QGIS and Mozilla Firefox
uses plugins. I would say that plugin corresponds to addon. Mozilla divides
add-ons into extensions, themes, and plugins (plugins being phased out).
Addon is also a Hebrew name.

GRASS GIS also uses extension in g.extension. Plugin seems to be
appropriate to me in GRASS GIS for GUI where the g.gui.* module names are
captured in Console and opened as window of the GUI as opposed to starting
a subprocess.
