No GNOME shell extension is ever downloaded without your consent. The browser plugin is only here to make this possible. Plugin integrity is guaranteed by SSL, and extensions have been checked before being put on the website. Anyway this doesn’t work very well so we’d be better with just putting those extensions in another Debian package, but I see this more as a functional problem than a security one. -- .''`.
