Average users are absolutely not gonna read all that stuff, much less understand it, when they accidentally install a malicious extension. I'm all for more powerful browser extensions (I really miss vimperator...), and I agree that permissions should be more granular, but I don't think that's gonna fix the issues that the average user of chrome has with them.
- anakaine 6y agoI dont think they were talking about average users reading it, but rather permissions are used as a trigger for the thoroughness / rigour of review scrutiny. Ie, this is a proposal to help the pulish/takedown issue, rather than to help users make better decisions.
