Privacy-focused browser users want a full extension kill-switch without losing ad-blocking

In a GrapheneOS-adjacent browser community, users debate a request to let security-conscious users fully disable extension support (since MV2 extensions are considered a security risk), while others push back that this would break the browsing experience unless ad-blocking like uBlock Origin were built in natively instead.

No Secure Modern Alternative to Tampermonkey Exists

Developers seeking a modern, actively maintained alternative to Tampermonkey face a gap: new contenders are vibe-coded with critical security vulnerabilities including zero sender validation, eval execution in the main world, and unrestricted CORS bypass. The security surface of browser extension userscript managers is inherently high-risk and no vetted modern option has emerged. This leaves power users stuck on aging software or exposed to exploitable alternatives.
