If it doesn’t work you might also need
--disable-extensions-except=

so baiscally
--disable-extensions-except="C:/OB2/Extensions/DarkReader" --load-extension="C:/OB2/Extensions/DarkReader"

oh and according to puppeteer/api.md at main · puppeteer/puppeteer · GitHub Extensions in Chrome / Chromium currently only work in non-headless mode.
