Comment #46 on issue 18857 by aavindraa: Support for GM Functions (Greasemonkey) in Chrome http://code.google.com/p/chromium/issues/detail?id=18857
There are thousands of scripts on userscripts.org, and I have yet to see a site maliciously write JavaScript to counteract a userscript. For example, using unsafeWindow on YouTube (which is incredibly useful) won't cause any problems, unless Google has abandoned all reason and went against their "Don't be evil" motto. I've posted a message a day ago in the chrome extensions discussions and it still hasn't shown up. Basically, I wanted to know if we can get some sort of permissions-based system where we request usage of the various "dangerous" API's. If a "dangerous" API is being used, an extension can be flagged as dangerous, and users who are installing them would be warned about the potential security risks. I'm sure there are other scripters who don't mind the "risk", as well as the users of the scripts who would be bold enough to install regardless of the warnings. -- You received this message because you are listed in the owner or CC fields of this issue, or because you starred this issue.
