[QUOTE="Arequire, post: 940795, member: 59283"] I don't agree with that at all. Sure, extensions can't 'infect' a system like traditional malware can, but a compromised extension can potentially access all data stored on that system depending on the permissions granted to it. I don't think the userbase has much bearing on anything. An attacker compromising or purchasing a popular extension and suddenly gaining access to all the data from tens of millions of browsers must be like hitting the jackpot. [/QUOTE]
