The peasants are also idiots. "Extension 'FreeStuff4U' wants access to: modify your DNA, empty your bank account, commit you to indentured servitude. [Approve because you have no idea what any of this means] [Ignore this warning and click whatever button says 'Yes' because it says Free in the name]"

No amount of warnings will stop a large number of users from doing stupid things and then blaming the browser for letting them. If they even realize it's the browser.
