    For people that may be confused or possibly surprised, although MV3 is a shitty Google thing, Firefox should still implement widely used APIs so developers can still write code once that works on (most) any browser. Having to write a “Firefox specific” Web app or extension would cause friction and limit adoption.





  • I’d say the purpose of the feature is to do as intended, ensure the documents authenticity and integrity. The mechanism still requires people trust your signature (public key), so you need another strategy to establish that trust. If you wanted to share a confidential document to a person you know on discord, and they already trust your discord profile, you would need to use said profile to get people to trust the key you’re going to use, belongs to and identifies you. This really isn’t different from third party Cas, just a lot of certificates from them are already trusted by default and part of the internet wide key infrastructure.
