Sticky Notes for the Internet

Thanks for the comment. It's a valid concern.

Chrome and Firefox have a review team for their extension marketplace, though I believe there are instances of malicious extensions getting through anyway.

And while rather labor intensive, another path toward vetting is examining the source code. I haven't obfuscated it, and Googling for "view extension source code" has many results.

And for what it's worth, I can give an assurance that I'm not a bad actor.

If you update the extension does it automatically update for the users or does the user have to manually install the update?

Regardless I love the idea of this.

There's an option in Firefox to disable auto-updates for an extension.

Not as easy in Chrome, but there's ways to do it. For example here's one: https://groups.google.com/a/chromium.org/g/chromium-extensio...
