Please hasten the implementation of a simple on/off switch for automatic updates to browser extensions.
There has been a open issue since 2019 (https://github.com/brave/brave-browser/issues/7200) and there were others that have been closed. It is a must have as it can be very dangerous to run any extension with auto updates enabled. You don’t know if an extension is hijacked and a malicious update is pushed. You just don’t know. It’s not safe to run extensions at the moment in Brave. Especially when lately there have been a rise in malicious extensions due to AI. It has gotten really easy for criminals to make extensions which they put malware in.
I really don’t see how this is not any priority. It’s such a simple thing to add.
Thanks,
A concerned Brave user.
