Yes, I'm not saying there is no harmful software, I'm saying
these kind of "protections" are the wrong solution. The same
people who install blindly any add-ons will also install any
exe-files if the promising website tells them to because the
browsers add-on-system does not provide the required mechanics.
So the next step is to disallow exe-files. But of course you can
let the exe-file get signed for a "small" fee...
- madeofpalk 7y ago> The same people who install blindly any add-ons Like Facebook? Should installing the Facebook app on your phone allow them to intercept any network requests your web browser makes?
- jackewiehose 7y agoSure, if the app asks for that permission and you allow it.
- Razengan 7y agoUsers can manually choose to run unsigned executables. Please stop spreading that FUD.
- jackewiehose 7y agoThey can for now. I wrote disallowing unsigned exe-files would be the logical next step in "user-protection".
