What kind of idiot thought that the add-ons I have personally installed on my browser need to have a capability to be remotely disabled despite literally nothing being changed.

This is absolutely inexcusable. I want to see everyone being responsible for this "verified add-ons" fiasco fired from the team (after they roll it back of course).

How do you verify that nothing has been changed, if not by checking signatures?

Your call for everyone to be fired is very much in vogue but perhaps not at all useful. This isn’t a great thing to have happened, but the important outcome is, as always, knowledge and process that can prevent similar mistakes in the future.

Standard answer from a person that didn't understand the issue - "who is this bunch of idiots? Fire them all". Sounds like a C*O. :)
