Re: stealing money from homebanking and inside info.
I don't think either of these examples are analogous to what is going on. And even if they did, they are already regulated on specific jurisdictions (not worlwide though). The web is global. WSJ doesn't have to serve to a global audience. It is possible to have global regulation, but I'm not sure it's productive/intelligent to regulate how the technology works worldwide (ie. Regulate what links you can click and which ones you can't. Or regulate the legatity of source code of extension in this example). These are technological problems and should be solved by technology. In my view, they will be solved by technology before any regulation could be in place.

But if the bank had sloppy security and you found scripts on the internet that allowed you to steal passwords, would it be okay to use them? But closer to this post, what if the extension relied on data breaches and anytime you went to one of the supported sites, it looked up one of the stolen login credentials to let you log in. Would you be okay with that?
