There's an option to disable plugins, for that very reason. But that's the core of the issue, if you're unsafe by default adding lockdown options which may or may not work is a very weak improvement. That entire attitude seems more security toy than security tool.
- moritonal 4y agoBut, isn't it more dangerous to give a false sense of security? Wouldn't you prefer a tool that doesn't try to defend against scenarios it knows it isn't strong enough to handle?
- usrusr 4y agoFalse sense of security is exactly what they did: a sturdy looking lock with a main mechanism that would give the lockpickinglawyer a challenge, but with a number of hidden bypass options that are easy enough for you and I do use (if we know about them). Bypass options that are considered enough of a problem to give the legitimate user ways to disable then and they are just as hidden as the bypasses themselves. And default to not disabled.
