>Personally, I find the notion of running 3rd party code with internet access that can see the entire DOM of any website a little scary.

chrome now allows you to allow access to pages on an opt-in basis (ie. you have to click the button for the extension to get access to the page).

That's a hugely beneficial change! I too have avoided extensions because of the essentially complete trust required to accept that some code is good and will not be hijacked in the future.

Now when will Firefox implement the same idea?
