I don’t really see this as simpler:

1) “identified as risky” seems like it could hide some significant complexity (and room for error).

2) An extension might need to read from the keyboard. I don’t want to OK it every time. If I check once and then mark it as OK, I’d be worried that it could do something evil with that permission somehow, in a far-flung bit of the code.




I'm not saying a popover modal, I'm saying a toast notification or a status-bar icon. Non-blocking.

Like, when you're typing and it's being monitored: in the corner of the window it says"Extension TweetSyndicator is reading your keyboard. Click here to manage extension."
