Program binary delivery CDN compromise is completely orthogonal to whether the password manager is "web based". Upon some cursory research, the compromised Passwordstate thing is an on-prem enterprise solution, the upgrade package compromised looks like an asp.net application meant to be placed on a server. I guess you can call it compromise of a web-based password manager... But you can compromise native programs the exact same way if you get ahold of the update CDN. Using it as an example is weird.

I see, definitely valid criticism. Cannot edit my comment now.

My point wasn't the specific incident that was linked but more about the fact that updates are a threat for extensions as they update automatically without user input
