    For people that may be confused or possibly surprised, although MV3 is a shitty Google thing, Firefox should still implement widely used APIs so developers can still write code once that works on (most) any browser. Having to write a “Firefox specific” Web app or extension would cause friction and limit adoption.





  • Doesn’t break the algorithm though, you would just have the key and then can use the algorithm (that still works!) to decrypt data.

    Also you’re talking about one class of cryptography, the concept of key knowledge varies between algorithms.

    My point is an attacker having knowledge of the key is a compromise, not a successful break of the algorithm…

    “the attacker beat my ass until I gave them the key”, doesn’t mean people should stop using AES or even RSA, for example.
