I have built an ASP.NET mvc web application and it seems that some of our users have started making add-ons or extenstions of some type in Firefox to customize the app for them specifically.
Is there any way to not allow this? Can I do something with my app so they have no access to run customizations?
My boss is freaking out over this so much that he wants to limit everyone to using IE8!
Once the markup is delivered to the browser, the browser can do whatever it wants with it.
There’s no way to stop that. There’s also nothing to stop people from creating IE8 Accelerators, plugins, or installing something like Trixie to achieve the same goal.
And as long as the requests coming to your website are legitimate, there’s no way to tell if they were generated by your page or the browser extension.
You’re going to have to get over it and allow the users some flexibility.
