I’d stick with version pinning for now, better safe than sorry.

Talia 10 months ago

I think blocking the extension is the safest bet.

Arlean 11 months ago

Wait, can they really just customize permissions like that?

Janey 11 months ago

Definitely not continuing with the new version until we know more!

Sharmaine 11 months ago

Sounds like a security risk with those extra permissions!

I feel like continuing with version pinning is a safe bet for now, but I wonder if it’s enough to protect us in the long run. We talked about this in the context of risk management.

Customizing permissions sounds like a viable option, but I’m not confident if it’s even possible with Chrome extensions. We didn’t cover that in detail.

I think blocking the extension until a safer version is available makes sense, but I’m not sure if that’s the best option. We had a similar question about managing updates last week.

I remember we discussed the importance of permissions in our last class. It seems risky to allow an extension to have more permissions without understanding why.

Ah, the old version pinning trick. That's probably the safest bet for now, but I'll need to follow up with the developer to understand what's changed. Can't be too careful with critical business tools.

Andree 1 year ago

Okay, I think I've got a handle on this. Customizing the permissions seems like the best way to maintain functionality while mitigating the security risk. I'll make sure to thoroughly document my decision.

Arlene 1 year ago

Hmm, the increased permissions are definitely concerning. I'm leaning towards blocking the extension until a safer version is available, but I want to make sure I'm not missing any important context.

This seems like a tricky one. I'll need to carefully weigh the options and think through the security implications of each approach.

Hold up, did someone say 'risky websites'? I'm pretty sure the Chrome admin isn't moonlighting as the internet police. Let's stick to the professional options here, folks.

Option B? Really? Who wants to block a critical business tool? That's just asking for trouble. I'll take the version pinning, thank you very much.

Genevive 1 year ago

Hmm, I'm not sure I'd want to block the extension entirely. That could really mess things up. Option D seems like the most prudent choice here.

User 1: I agree, blocking the extension completely could cause more issues.

Michal 1 year ago

I think we should continue using version pinning until we can get more information from the developer. We need to know why the permissions changed.

Cyril 1 year ago

I think we should customize the permissions to match the previous version. It might be a hassle, but it's worth it for security.

Katheryn 1 year ago

I agree with Micheline. It's better to be safe than sorry when it comes to security.

Micheline 1 year ago

I think we should block the extension until a new version with fewer permissions is available.

Shenika 1 year ago

Personally, I'd go with option C. Customizing the permissions to match the previous version seems like the smartest move. Keeps things secure without disrupting business operations.

Josphine 1 year ago

Option D is the way to go. Staying with the previous version until you get more information from the developer is the safest bet. No need to take unnecessary risks here.
