Thanks for the list, Maciej. However, Firefox extensions today have
all of the same problems. Do you consider the permission UI in Firefox
insufficient? Given Safari's extension model, I'm going to guess the
answer is yes. The fact that FF has extensions, however, at least
shows that one browser vendor believes that sufficient permission UI
exists.
