On the Ubuntu Tweaks application, there are two Extensions that I have no idea what they do. When I enable them, nothing seems to happen on my screen. Anyone knows how to use them or if they even work?

Thanks to @guiverc, as he already provided the links about the uses of those extensions..

These gnome-shell-extensions are pre Installed with the Ubuntu.ISO and configured in the file /usr/share/gnome-shell/modes/ubuntu.json

{
    "parentMode": "user",
    "stylesheetName": "Yaru/gnome-shell.css",
    "debugFlags": ["backtrace-crashes-all"],
    "enabledExtensions": ["ubuntu-dock@ubuntu.com", "ubuntu-appindicators@ubuntu.com", "desktop-icons@csoriano"]
}

This causes, the toggle button useless.. from the gnome-tweaks extensions tab..

you can remove these extensions from the line "enabledEstensions":

{
    "parentMode": "user",
    "stylesheetName": "Yaru/gnome-shell.css",
    "debugFlags": ["backtrace-crashes-all"],
    "enabledExtensions": []
}

now all the 3 pre enabledExtensions will respect the toggle button..

Note: this concept of modes, ubuntu.json will apply to ubuntu desktop session which is default in Ubuntu 19.04

If you install different desktop sessions and logged into that session, this case varies based on that sessions configuration..
