It happens to all of us. I always tend to make sure any extension has the sources available (unless requested by work/client), but nowadays with open source supply chain attack, it's just another breakable wall. Even on linux, some long time ago, I caught a trojan (luckily to the extent of my knowledge, it didn't affect anything besides running a crypto mining on my m3 laptop)., disguised as systemd, that was spreading through kodi extensions.

- 3abiton 9mo agoI see the confusion. My fault. Before the Mac M3, intel briefly used to have the intel core m3 cpu lineup. Fanless, and very energy efficient for the time (~2017).
- cwel 9mo agoAh, yeah I should have figured when you referred to the event happening a long time ago that it wasn't the Applearm. nonetheless, i agree with the sentiment.. browser extension ecosystem is rife with questionablesoft
