Even in Web3, the Rule Is “Convenience Uber Alles”
- codeptualize 5y agoWow! Look at the scammers in the replies. That’s intense!
- smt88 5y agoAny Twitter thread related to crypto or "web3" is an astonishing cesspool. I have never seen a healthy "comment section" about those topics.
- charcircuit 5y agoThe permission is used to inject Metamask's API into the site.
- JonathanBeuys 5y agoYes. And that convenience comes at a big price. Now you gave the MetaMask devs control over all your future browsing sessions. Your bank account, your emails (if you use a webmailer like gmail), your social media ... You trust them to a) not ever have a malicious dev on board or a dev who forgets to take their medicine. And b) they will never make a mistake so someone can get malicious code into your MetaMask instance or take it over via a security bug.
- alexvoda 5y agoOff topic. Why aren't content access permissions for extensions domain based? You either have to grant access to all sites, grant access to a predefined list of sites, or not install the extension. I want certain extensions to only have access to certain sites that I get to decide because it is my computer.
