This is kind of like advocating to only use vendor-provided software on your actual operating system because any third party software might be insecure (ignoring the fact that the OS itself may be as well). Some people might be able to do that but the overwhelming majority of people would not find that tenable, so suggesting that one just not is neither productive nor realistic.
- userbinator 5y agoI see it as yet another piece of propaganda from the corporate-totalitarianism side of the war on general-purpose computing. They started squeezing people into the browser, then they slowly castrate the browser and turn it into another tool of control. No userstyles, no userscripts, no extensions, no URLs... All in the name of "security", of course... and people will blindly believe. The frog continues to cook slowly.
