Extremely interesting and also humorously written. Considering that Firefox once changed its plugin system to become more secure, you can still cause quite a lot of damage with plugins. By now I get by with very few plugins. I think everyone should try to use as few as possible.

I have the feeling there are even more plugins for Chrome, right? That would certainly be worth exploring too.

The author mentioned there were far more in the chrome store, and it would be impossible to download them all in the same way he did here.

Anything that can inject content into webpages you load has pretty extensive abilities for abuse, let alone extensions with more access to browser APIs.
