Isn't the point here, though, that the shady people reach out to try and buy control of non-shady extensions? How would you know whether or not your previously non-shady extension is now shady?


If the extension cannot access the network to send data anywhere, what's the worse that could happen in that scenerio?

Obviously some extensions have good reason to use the network, and there's no easy solution there. Some extensions change a color them on a page and that's it, I wish those could be denied internet access.
