Google have declared Droidscript is malware

Chrome is closed source and has developer tools, and has damn near every permission Android provides. You can app your apps on it, as long as they are of the web variety. Should we not ban chrome too?

If droidscript enables ad fraud, isn't it an issue with how the android sandboxing model is fundamentally broken? Given that there are far more people using phones than computers, and a lot of new smartphone users will have never used a desktop or laptop computer, droidscript might be their first venture into programming and/or hacking. Let's not shut it down.

Chrome does not provide raw access to the APIs from JavaScript. Instead everything is sandboxed to the hilt.

Also the product has a very heavy emphasis on security, the security team is superb quality and well funded, and Google know that the team is trustworthy.

Chrome polices websites with per-site permissions, controlled by the user. Does DroidScript give users the same level over control over 3rd party code?
