[QUOTE="Zero Knowledge, post: 1014663, member: 57429"] It was never about security, no matter how much Google tried to spin it. If they really wanted to clean up the extension ecosystem you would think the first step would be to hire more people to manually vet the extensions before they are accepted on the extension app store like Apple do. If Apple can do a reasonable job protecting users from rouge apps/extensions in their ecosystem, why can't Google? The same thing goes for Google Android Play Store and malware, if they really wanted to, they could stop it this very minute, but my guess is they just run the app/extension through an automated script or program and if it passes give it the tick of approval with no oversight or double checking. They need to employ more people to manually check each and every extensions/apps otherwise the same thing will happen i.e., malicious extensions/apps in Google products. [/QUOTE]
