addons
Not standard equipment
Addons are supplementary features or components that extend the functionality of existing software.
A browser addon might block advertisements or manage passwords.
Video games use addons for new content, characters, or quality-of-life improvements.
Also spelled as two words (add-ons) or hyphenated.
