alt Hacker News> it doesn't have to be files. it could be in memory on the browser.
How'd that work? If it's in memory, the extensions would vanish everytime I shutdown Chrome? I'll have to reinstall all my extensions again everytime I restart Chrome?
Have you seen any browser that keeps extension in memory? Where they ask the user to reinstall their extensions everytime they start the browser?
I'm just using it as a possible example. There's also tampermonkey which installs not via files but via urls from another site.
The point is to call out the sensationalism in the title.
