The only shortcoming is the user. Only install ad ons that you know and understand. And only from the official project source.
Or you can (correctly) assume users are a danger to themselves and coddle them. The Google Chrome/Apple/Microsoft philosophy.
- rco8786 9y agoHistory has shown us that users are overwhelmingly a danger to themselves when it comes to this sort of thing. Pretending otherwise is not a good strategy.
- Feniks 9y agoOh I know. People are why we can't have nice things. Like add ons. Already you can't install the latest versions unless Mozilla approves them. I just prefer freedom, including the freedom to make mistakes.
- benologist 9y agoYou can't just blame the user when bad actors actively seek to purchase and re-purpose browser extensions, open source projects, downloaded software etc into malware. It will be our turn when they figure out how to compromise NPM etc modules profitably.
