As someone pointed out above, Tampermonkey has ~10m downloads compared to 2.5b Chrome users, I seriously doubt any one malicious Tampermonkey script can affect as many users as even a malicious AppleScript can.

Don't forget the fact that any scripts you download are by definition open-source (you download the actual script).

The problem with closing the API is that for even the most advanced users, it will now be impossible to get the (very useful) functionality these extensions provide.

I understand he was referring to a different API than the one discussed. My question is if the API change he was referring to is still being implemented in Manifest v3 (I've edited my comment accordingly).

I really enjoy using Deno, and would use it as a replacement for Node (I know it can't replace every setup out there but for me it would work). The only thing that bugs me is the fact that it's impossible to bypass strict SSL&#x

Are you saying that most apps don't rely on the system Trust Store? I believe manually trusting Fiddler's cert adds it to the Trust Store. The only iOS apps I couldn't successfully MITM with this were stock Apple apps.

I had a similar experience, with costs of $100 incurred over a four-month period. All it took was on email to AWS support, and they refunded the entire thing. I was impressed, but still have been really trying to keep off AWS just to not ha

I find the same abundant misrepresentation about SSL. SSL is important but a valid SSL certificate doesn't mean a site is safe. An invalid (or nonexistent) SSL/TLS certificate doesn't mean a site is illegitimate. A site witho

Imagine keeping sanctions on South Africa for apartheid decades after they've ended it and that regime is long gone. (Not that I'm comparing the two but since you brought in child labor I'm just going further down that lane.)

After all, there must be something diabolical when Microsoft is just doing something to appease devs who have for years railed against them for being dev hostile.
