Or maybe only install extensions from trusted ~~sources~~ developers.

To be specific: from trusted developers. Installing them only from the official repository (is it still possible to reasonably install them any other way?) won't help if a dev sells such an addon. On the other hand I cannot imagine someone like Raymond Hill (the uBlock Origin dev) doing it, considering his track record.

Yeah, that's what I meant.
