    Be veeeeeery wary of browser addons. They gain access to the data of every web page. Can monitor keystrokes, etc. so… usernames, passwords, bank accounts. How hard would it be for a developer to maliciously add code that is distributed to thousands of devices?

    Pretty easy if you ask XZ

      this is shamelessly spreading FUD. The XZ issue has been resolved and was resolved very quickly. The author is a hero.

        It’s an example of malicious code sneaking in. I’m using this example because it is recent and well known. Regardless of the speed in which it was corrected, it is a valid example.
