Or is it just buggy?

    A more locked-down theming API could help. For example Firefox themes are always 100% safe to install. That said, Firefox themes are almost useless (they’re more like color schemes lol), and no one wants to lose KDE’s powerful customizability so 🤷🤷

      Perhaps having different categories with different limitations would work well. Using the firefox example, prioritize the use of WebExtensions, but keep XUL/XPCOM with appropriate warnings.

      What do you mean? I have Firefox themes that change the whole look of the browser, using userchrome.css.

        That’s obviously not what OP was referring to when mentioning “Firefox themes”.

          Maybe, I was showing that there were better ways to theme Firefox though
