Oh, yes, it's far from ideal. I'm reminded of the ArchLinux AUR, which deals with a problem kind of like this. AUR managers show a diff of what changed in a package on each update.…

You can audit the code of a Firefox extension by unzipping the .xpi file in the extensions directory within your browser profile directory. Not ideal, but it's better than nothing.…
