Permission-based systems are bad. See #XUL getting replaced by #WebExtensions for example. It didn't stop #malware from getting into the #browser or the extension store. On the contrary, the malware problem only got worse after the complete replacement of XUL extensions, which is often disparaged as "insecure" because it allowed users to pretty much change how their browser fundamentally works.

Who knew that distrusting your users and not giving them control leads to more malicious software and user #security being broken more often. :seija_coffee:
