"Hey Mozilla - this is why people said that forcing addons to be signed with no way to disable was a bad idea. You didn't even make it a year without screwing it up.

- overgard 8y agoThe cost of their “solution” seems pretty high in retrospect. This isnt a binary proposition, they could have solved that issue while respecting user choices, if it had been a priority. The solution they chose inherently was flawed. Hopefully this gives other providers pause before they build similar things.
