    Since January 2018, 42% of malicious extensions use the Web Request API.

    That’s like making knifes illegal in general because they have been used in a certain amount of murder cases.

        Indeed. What a f-ing stupid argument: “We cannot trust the extensions that the user installed, therefor we give malware from advertisers free roam!”

        You just made the argument for gun rights.

        Definitely not. Gun ownership should be abolished like slavery was. A knife has good use for cutting and cooking, but a gun, especially in private hands, has absolutely no reason to exist.
