Since you did not quote the part where I warned about that then I assume you did not read it:
Wasn't that an edit ? Sorry if it wasn't and I overlooked it You should be on the watch for their javascript changing though.
There are plugins for browsers that will warn you if the javascript changes.
Yep, but that isn't blockchain.info anymore, that's blockchain.info + a plugin.The source code as it stands now is very easy to read.
My mom still has issues with the concepts of copy and paste With such a plugin I would consider it to be reasonably safe.
I do agree, but many people still think it's some kind of security silver bullet where they don't have to trust the operator since he "doesn't have access to your keys". Honestly, how much people do you think use some kind of JS verifier ?Oh, that may have been an edit, but within minutes of the original post. I agree that for Mom and Pop using it that they are vulnerable. Good point about now having to trust the plugin, a valid concern.
I know a little perl, I may try to directly interface with their API if I can figure out local signing and decryption of keys.
