Auto-update of extensions and apps should be set to off by default. There would be less reason for extensions to be bought by other developers for their installed user base.
Secondly, how come there is no regulation about selling chrome extensions and apps?
- acdha 6y agoIf you turn auto-updates off, you're just reinventing early 2000s desktop security and attackers everywhere will thank you. Updates need to be automatic but there needs to be stricter rules about notifications to users about changes in ownership or functionality. A huge fraction of this would go away if corporate liability didn't allow hiding all of this in terms of service.
