A more locked-down theming API could help. For example Firefox themes are always 100% safe to install. That said, Firefox themes are almost useless (they’re more like color schemes lol), and no one wants to lose KDE’s powerful customizability so 🤷🤷
Perhaps having different categories with different limitations would work well. Using the firefox example, prioritize the use of WebExtensions, but keep XUL/XPCOM with appropriate warnings.
@wisha I think more moderation/screening of these things would help. We’re far to trusting about things still and in this day and age where things like this just tickle the person who did it … some sick folks in the world so we have to be a bit more vigilant.

What do you mean? I have Firefox themes that change the whole look of the browser, using userchrome.css.
That’s obviously not what OP was referring to when mentioning “Firefox themes”.
Maybe, I was showing that there were better ways to theme Firefox though
