It’s such a dumbass clownish piece-of-shit asinine idea that if you can customize the appearance of your software, somehow that will cause meemaw to send all her money to Nigeria.

First, she’s gonna do that anyway. Second, that increases security basically not at all while preventing knowledgeable users from doing what they want.

Which is actually the point. It was always about control. In the specific case I care about the most, the Firefox developers even specifically said they wanted to control what the users do because they knew the “right” way to use the browser and the “right” way is should look and operate.

Security was just the flimsy excuse. It was always about exerting power.
