I agree that we should have the right to choose. I also have enough experience doing support for customers to know that most people are boneheaded about this stuff, and will immediately jump to blaming the developer for their buggy software, causing support headaches and user discontent. For the HN audience - hackers, who know this technology, and understand the risks, and can correlate their revoking permissions with the effects down the road - this extension is great. I'm probably gonna install it later today. For the general user audience, this is like handing someone a loaded shotgun and telling them they can use it to scratch itches on their feet.
