Trustworthy Chrome Extensions, by default

Re:Trustworthy Chrome Extensions, by default by albertgoeswoof on Monday October 01, 2018 @05:57PM (#18117180)

On Firefox the reviewer took my source code, inc package.json, and ran it through the exact same version of my dependencies and then did a checksum of the output against what I submitted. The reviewer also read my source code and reviewed all dependencies.

It was a pain to get through but doing good things for your users takes effort.

Is it correct that Firefox makes your extension live in a short time after you upload it as long as you pass some automated checks? But it can get taken down if it fails the review performed by a human later?

That is correct. Opera Add-ons remains the last of the larger extension stores that requires a review before a version gets published.
