Fair enough. But it’s clearly a trade-off.

Some may want extensions with unchecked, unrestricted permissions to be able to do all-the-things (tm).

Me on the other hand (and possibly others), with open-source projects often going haywire and crazy over time, feel more comfortable knowing that extensions cannot do more than I have permitted them.

I guess this is for the market to decide. If V2 provides enough value for enough users, it will stick around.

Unless these snowflakes enter panic mode because "Mozilla is selling all my files" and stop using Firefox for reasons that cannot be explained by logic, which I see is majority of news unfolding after Mozilla changed their wording.
