Apple says that they do their own vetting of extensions, but I don't trust Apple to prevent extensions from reading my browsing history, especially considering spyware extensions like Honey are served on the App Store without warning.

The truth is that it is impossible for a computer to distinguish malicious javascript from useful javascript, meaning all trust and verification needs to come from the user.
