Do some domain names extensions get a bonus for SEO?

According to Google, the extension (top left domain) of a domain name is not a parameter impacting, whether positively or negatively, their algorithms.

Even if, officially, this parameter has no impact on Google, please give priority to classic extension such as ".fr" or ".com" rather than a more exotic extension.

Please note that geographical extensions (country code top left domain) such as ".fr" or ".es" allow search engines to geolocate sites and thus offer them in the context of a search limited to one country.

Lots of SEO professionals think that some extensions have a better fame among search engines. For example, those reserved by governments or official services: .edu , .gov or .gouv.fr for France.
