From the article:

> It's very possible for a 3rd party extension store to do a better job than Google at blocking malicious extensions.

I don't know that that is the case. Google clearly does a _terrible_ job on this, but they are at least theoretically financially motivated to do the job correctly. It's hard for me to imagine a 3rd party extension store being financially viable with correctly aligned financial motivations.
