There are rumours that Google told them running arbitrary code in Firefox is forbidden, because they can't audit that. I have never been able to find a confirmation for that though.
Which is a ridiculous opinion, of course, since the whole point of a browser is to run arbitrary code.
- tssva 4y agoIt also doesn't make sense because Google allows other browsers which run arbitrary extensions such as the chromium based Kiwi Browser.
- donatzsky 4y agoNever heard that before. Sure you're not thinking of iOS, where that is indeed the (stated) reason for not allowing alternative browser engines and requiring the use of the system webkit.
