There really need to be some extension store changes. The stores as they exist are not sustainable. Just spitballing:
- No binary or closed source releases, Google/Mozilla compile from a public source.
- More zealous restrictions (which admitedly Google is already heading towards)
- Big fat warnings when accessing cookies or secure fields like passwords or CC. If this makes password managers look scary, good, they should look scary.
- matusfaro 3y ago> No binary or closed source releases I suspect it wouldn't be that much trouble to include obfuscated spyware into the sources though. It may make it easier to catch, but it wouldn't prevent mass users from upgrading before it's stopped.
- brucethemoose2 3y agoTrue. But it would still be a minor deterrent, it would disrupt the common mechanism (buy a popular app, close source it) these acquirers operate with, and it would leave some proof of malice behind.
