Is DeleteMe.org real? Looks too good to not be a data stealing scam.

    There are several companies that do this.
    Even Mozilla did until this month.

    DeleteMe seems not to be the best. They might sell data to places while getting it removed from other places.

    I just signed up with Incogni which is one of the biggest.

        Not the kind if thing you can do with an extension.
        Every broker has their own process. Some even require actual physical letters be sent to remove your data.
