Browser extensions only configure proxies to the main application (in best case). Worst case they config proxies directly to the provider (via socks5).

VPN is a network device level service, while the browser is an application. Are you looking for an admin interface for your VPN tunnel?
So after a little more research it seems indeed as mentioned in another comment Nords browser extension uses socks5. I was looking for something i could use with Mullvad as i'm trying to move away from Nord. This seems to be exactly what I was looking for https://mullvad.net/en/download/browser/extension
Oh, you mean a proxy. Yes, that would work with an application. Since not at network/device level.
Proton . Really good but only works with a subscription
