Websites themselves are a much larger threat than extensions - should your ideal browser remove support for them as well?

- ocdtrekkie 5mo agoThis is incredibly untrue. Many extensions can see and modify everything you see on any other site. Installing a browser extension is best described as installing a rootkit in your browser.
- account42 5mo agoIf you look at actual negative consequences to users from extensions and websites I'm pretty sure the latter will win by a long shot. And you need extensions to protect yourself from malicious websites. And of course extensions get access to websites, just like the browser. That's what "extension" means. As much as Google, Mozilla, Microsoft and Apple want you to believe otherwise they are not the only ones that can be trusted with that access.
