    @Manishearth: Extensions that use Native Client, or are developed in a language that compiles to Javascript (Emscripten, asm.js, Coffeescript, TypeScript), do not automatically provide their source code. Sure, in the second case, you can look at the javascript generated code, but it is not always readable or useful. Commented Jun 26, 2013 at 11:25
