I don't think you understand the issue. There is an accidental backdoor in the extension. The maintainer can manipulate and access the pages you visit at will, without needing to release a malicious update. All these features can be implemented without the maintainer being able to hack you without a trace, there is no loss of functionality if the security issue is patched.
- fbelzile 6y agoSo you're saying Apple should pull Chrome's permission to run on macOS anytime there's an accidental zero day or vulnerability? If Google wants to act like a platform, it should have some form of escalation with the developer to fix issues instead of complete removal without warning.
- dessant 6y agoNo, I'm not saying that, and the potential issue I have shared has nothing to do with the current takedown of the extension.
