    Of course having fewer extensions installed doesn’t protect you from the ones that you have installed. But the fewer you have the smaller your attack surface is. And as a general tip, I think it’s a good one, even on Lemmy. Because I’m not going to assume people’s understanding of the web, browsers or permissions. And when it comes to the general population, a lack of understanding of an extension’s permissions has very little to do with ones ability to read.
