Google made a big mistake by not including a GUI option to manageme auto-updates. I write an extension that interacts with data on a financial website, and this policy of forcing automatic updates on all extensions is dangerous. It means I can not guarantee my users my extension is 100% safe, even if they audit its javascript files, because if I were a bad guy, I would still have the power to update the code in the dead of night. It's not very attractive to tell users they can only protect themselves if they both understand javascript, and also dig through files to manually disable auto-updates. |
