That would be a useful extension/plugin for browsers actually.
Maybe like pointed out in another reply, not for checksums but for signatures. So you just copy/paste the signature after selecting a file, and then it can verify it's validity.
Is there no such extension yet? it seems like there should be one already.

- toyg 11y agoMaybe something like: - have a database of common downloads and all their crypto info, which developers can update once they are validated - have browser extensions that will check packages on download and alert if suspicious You could pay for it with some sort of sponsorship from apps themselves, who have an interest in not getting compromised like this (it's terrible publicity).
