So hopefully the Chrome store review process is the nanny they need.
The only thing that has permission to read and modify website data on my browsers is my password manager. I trust it. Without that permission it could not operate and provide me immense value. Yes, I would be hosed if it got pwned. It's a calculated risk on my part.
One cannot live in a world where we have the benefits of browser extensions and also disallow all behavior that could ever possibly be used for bad. It's an inconsistent worldview.

- dcow 4y agoWhat are you talking about? I'm not mocking anybody. We have app store reviews because it's a known fact that not all users read or care about permissions. My point is simply that those safeguards exist for those users and they seem to be working rather well.
