In the post-CCPA/GDPR world, tech companies are paying greater attention to the risks that software poses to users. Much of the risks stem from having no control over what impact code will have on the security and privacy of user personal data. Until tech companies know who's running what code in the various components that make up extensions and other forms of software, the risk of fraud and theft will remain high, as will the risk of running afoul of these new privacy laws.
