> very wide attack surface.

Do you have details of specific realistic attacks that were possible under MV2 and now impossible under MV3?

That page contains a list of things you aren't allowed to do in MV3 anymore. There's no explanation of attacks being prevented.

In what specific ways are you safer when installing a malicious MV3 extension compared to installing a malicious MV2 extension?
