Comment #3 on issue 26167 by [email protected]: Get rid of click in download bar for most extensions http://code.google.com/p/chromium/issues/detail?id=26167
Don't we want to encourage folks to use the gallery? I'm worried that just having the install dialog is too much like the ActiveX install experience, which has tricked many, many people into installing malware like comet cursor. The nice thing about our current UI is that it mirrors downloading and running an EXE. That removes the incentive for attacker's to target the extension system. They might as well just provide an EXE. -- You received this message because you are listed in the owner or CC fields of this issue, or because you starred this issue.
