So, sandbox the extensions, a practical, sensible step on the path to browser as OS (contentious, but doesn't that seem where things are going, and if we lose firefox...). I get it, it's mr right now harm minimization, as opposed to mr right (linux or flatpak) general purpose computers in service of their users with usable security control.
