I was wrong on WebExtensions

WebExtensions > legacy addons.
Firefox legacy addons basically have unrestricted, full access to everything browser does.
They are barely step behind ActiveX. They can download arbitrary data and execute it.

Fuck this "permissions" bureaucracy bullshit. Yet another excuse for those bastards to take control away from developers and users and keep it all to themselves.

Whatever happened to "ask for forgiveness, not permission" and "that which is not explicitly prohibited is allowed"?

I hope I don't live to see the day when you need "permission" to breathe, think, or live...
