Is the addon page updated and maintained by scripts or manually curated, and how do you determine the integrity of the extensions you recommend overtime?
I ask this because the developer of the "ReloadEvery" extension has previously included a proprietary and rather intrusive spyware module with and update to the extension in an effort to monetize his software and violate his users' trust and privacy. It was eventually removed after numerous complaints and bad reviews in the extension's feedback area. The developer later stated that he was surprised that his users would object to his violating of them and his belief that such actions would be welcomed. Even with this particular module being eventually removed, the threat from such unscrupulous developers taking similar action in the future and the GNU Project promoting them remains. Please CC any replies, as I am not subscribed to this list. -- David Pierce -- http://gnuzilla.gnu.org
