Those exact type of issues have existed in the past it’s why the FBI uses ad blocking and recommends that it’s used for security. There have been several browser vulnerabilities over the years that required absolutely no interaction from the user whatsoever it simply had to load the data.

The whole reason that manifest V3 was such a big deal for unlock origin is that it prevents it from intercepting and stopping the initial connection to The domain in the first place it can only remove it after it’s been received and even that was limited. On Firefox everything is still normal it’s able to completely stop the browser from ever reaching out in the first place

Really? If anything I have the opposite problem all the normal people I’m aware of probably don’t even need steam just the web browser and plasma. Pretty much everything is in the web browser these days I mean they might want the dedicated discord client but that’s ultimately just a web browser in a box and will also work perfectly no AUR required

I’m very tired of the rhetoric that Arch is only meant for tinkerers. If all you do is have plasma steam and a web browser it’s no more or less likely to break than any other distro. You could go your entire life without ever looking at the terminal.

And while yes this malware is a problem it is specifically in the aur, the arch user repository an unofficial repository not officially supported, just don’t use it. Unless you need a weird piece of software generally related to some type of specific hobby you’re unlikely to ever even want to look at it anyway.
