yeah I'm not sure if you can make an isolated and secure browser extension outside of safari ?

Good question. Maybe through some wasm?

Yes. I think most people misunderstand how this works.

A bit of JS code is injected that takes the nostr.* calls communicates with the extension that is in an isolated context (AFAIK with postMessage). The extension then checks permissions or does popups.

:/ please do some research

yeah its slightly more isolated, but its still floating around in the process space and js env. I would just feel more comfortable with runtime.sendNativeMessage to an app with no network access and shared keychain access with Damus

makes sense, but you probably have bigger problems if there’s a safari ACE vulnerability

orly. well that's a bad time.

damn this hard af

For reals. I can’t stop playing it. 🤣
