Yeah, if the user wants that, why not?

  Because the set of users who actually want that is dwarfed by the set of users who got tricked into installing that keylogger.

    Those users can continue using their coddling browsers on their coddling operating systems.

      Most people are not technology professionals and enthusiasts like this forum is. Should normal people be forced to put their life savings on the line because they didn't understand the difference between Manifest V2/V3?
      • Arnavion 5y ago
        Again, "normal" people are welcome to continue using the browsers they're currently using.
    • shadowgovt 5y ago
      Correct. ... That browser is Chrome. Chrome's massive install base means it is the browser of choice for people who need a coddling browser. Much as with Windows becoming the dominant operating system resulting in Microsoft having to deal with botnets fabricated from thousands of compromised machines via forced security updates, the dominant system becomes heavily incentivized to protect the least capable users from their own bad decisions.
