- Groxx 10y agoThere are still critical holes in the extension API that they haven't plugged, e.g. filesystem access (super duper important if you want to make an app that can edit / create images, for instance, and not want to shove everything into the downloads folder or force a chooser every time). I'm not sure how they're going to shut things down while crippling the ecosystem so severely (though to be fair, Firefox is doing a similar crippling-move (but for solid reasons, IMO)).
- djsumdog 10y agoFirefox can do this via extensions as well. That's how the Beef fake flash update works (presents something that looks like it's a flash update that really installs a browser extension).
