Nice work. One thing I've noticed with locally checking extensions against threat lists is that the verification process itself can become a target. Stateless, deterministic verification — where hashes or IDs are derived on-device and never stored centrally — reduces risk of supply chain or server-side compromise. It’s a subtle design point, but it can prevent a malicious actor from using the verification system itself to exfiltrate data.
