Hi Dave. I understand why this choice was made, but please pass along that I feel the reasoning is deeply flawed.
If I choose #1 and use an unsigned browser without the extension, there's nothing stopping malware from altering the browser executable and stealing all my credentials via the extension anyway. I fully understand the risks of an unsigned browser, and would like to be able to make my own choices.

LibreWolf, and other custom-compiled browsers are increasingly popular among privacy-focused individuals as more browsers add in more tracking and data collection systems. Judging by the number of comments on the closed Experiment thread (where I voiced the same opinion at the time as well), I'm far from the only one who feels this way: https://1password.community/discussion/141779/experiment-2-custom-browsers
