This API change is making it worse for Tampermonkey than for malware.
"Malware" extensions canstill be explicitly "sideloaded" to Chrome in developer mode. Closing this API means Tampermonkey won't be able to run even when sideloaded. If this was truly their only concern they could have just blocked Tampermonkey and comparable extensions from the webstore. , rendering just as 'safe' as any other sideloaded chrome extension.
