If you don't have the ability to police extensions you're basically putting your users up for sale?
- joshuaissac 5mo agoBut they support extensions on desktop. The problem you linked to also happened on desktop because there is no VSCode for phones.
- atraac 5mo agoYour users don't have to use those extensions, so I don't understand how that's relevant? People who do, should be made aware of risks and that's it. This is not a good argument against taking away their option to have that customization.
- hvb2 5mo agoI'm having a hard time finding a thread where people don't complain about npm when the real issue is packages being compromised. Swap packages for extensions in the above and let me know how that's different
- ThunderSizzle 5mo agoBut what's your argument? That phone-based extensions are more vulnerable somehow than desktop extensions? If anything, wouldn't a phone extension be more sandboxed than most desktop environments?
- eviks 5mo agoNo, if that were true, there would be no extension support on non-mobile
- zerr 5mo agoThey can add support for Chrome and Edge extensions marketplaces.
- retrochameleon 5mo agoHow is this an argument when you can use extensions on the desktop version?
