It's also a security risk though, as in someone could take it over and push a bad update at any time... I have a few extensions installed but I'm terrified of adding more, even though there are parts of my browsing experience that could be significantly improved.
I really wish there were a middle ground, like an external extension manager where you could opt into updates, with reproducible builds, changelogs, etc.

I've tried to send bookmarklets to my family and they never "get" them. An extension like this is perfect. Thanks for your work!
