Hi all,
I may be missing something, but the really nifty extensions site
prompted me to ask this, are there not potential security issues with
extensions being able to be installed by clicking on a webpage? Ans
since extensions are able to modify the way the UI behaves, could
someone not make one that steals users' info, make screenshots, steal
passwords (like emulating the login screen for example), etc?
I'm sure you thought of all this so I be interested in knowing how you
protect us (sandboxing, limiting the things API can do, not allowing
access to the HD except thought given functions, etc).
Thanks,
Gabriel
