So, because you are retarded and cannot not install extension malware, I should give control over my extensions to moral busybodys that may or may not have my best interest in mind?
you are retarded and cannot not install extension malware
Gimme a break dude. Are you doing a code review of every extension you install? What about every time it updates? Do you even know when they update? Are you 100% confident that no malware author in the entire world is smarter than you on any given day?
I'm willing to bet that you've never run a software project of any kind, let alone one with a public add-on system. I have, and let me tell you - you need a remote kill list. Without one your project just becomes a middleman for criminals.
You''re okay ceding control over your browser under the false pretense of safety? You're fine with being exposed to malvertising? You want an Internet where you won't be able to block tracking?
Listen, I think adblock is good. You don't have to convince me of that.
I just don't think they're going to use a domain based add-on kill list for something as petty as disabling adblock. This would be discovered by mainstream users quite quickly and the backlash would be huge. The tactic is just too hamfisted to work.
Yes. What do you think it's for? Adblock?

Let me ask this: Do you eat steak?
