As a developer not only can I be trusted to not install extensions from unknown sources, but there’s a much easier vector via NPM :)

- fwn 3y agoI'm not a developer, but I trust the author of ublock Origin a lot more than I trust Mozilla. Mozilla routinely fails its users and spends a lot of money on downright bad ideas. They are a pinnacle of intransparency and most of their press releases are written in Newspeak, far worse than Google, ironically. In this very thread we have a discussion about Mozilla putting the boot on its formerly open extension ecosystem. So it is an odd idea that the manufacturer of the browser (Google, Apple, Microsoft, or Mozilla) should have a say in how much I can trust my content blocker. The last group of stakeholders I would want involved in decisions about my content blocker is the ad-funded tech industry.
