Last time I was making one (for myself, not to publish), my main issue was that browsers made it nearly unusable to have a private local extension because you only had two choices:
- either upload it on their website and go through approval everytime
- either lower security to run in developer mode, and have an alert warning you about it every X minutes, ruining your focus
VSCode on the other hand has no issue running local extensions at the same time as extensions from the marketplace.
- kevincox 4y agoThis is very intentional because it is common for malware to install browser extensions. It would be nice to have a way to opt-out but this is probably hard to do without also making it too easy for the malware to opt-out for you.
- Farow 4y agoAMO does not require a manual review nor the extension to be uploaded publicly. You can sign it through their site and then distribute it elsewhere. Also, I don't see how you can compare browser extensions to vscode extensions. One product is aimed at your grandma, the other at software developers and doesn't have access to your email, banking and credit cards.
