Pretty hypocritical considering they're fine with obfuscated blobs running DRM (EME).

Looks like wasm will start to be the default then.

From the article:

> We will continue to allow minified, concatenated, or otherwise machine-generated code as long as the source code is included.

If I understand correctly, Wasm will be allowed as long as the original source code is provided.

Unless Mozilla runs build bots for these extensions, it will be impossible to prove that the compiled code and the uncompiled code match.
