Yep. Sadly, the Web is a victim of its own success. There aren't just a few bad actors anymore. There are legions more than willing to write an endless number of malware extensions with randomly permuted uuids. There's an ad industry that long ago went off the deep end and are hoping people don't notice just a little longer. The price list for exploits is well known and buyers are easy to find.
Then again, it is still a massive cross platform content publishing and distribution system that works, despite the hostile ecosystem it inhabits. And it even includes the first truly successful cross platform programming environment.
So there's that.
