Um, don't you find the prospect of a Nazi group using it for that purpose significantly more trouble than people thinking that's why you did it?

- Nadya 10y agoNo. Because if the group cared enough they could make their own add-on to do just that. And it wouldn't need to go through Google to be installed for "members". "Is a member of a nazi-esque group" is not exclusive from "is tech literate enough to write browser add-ons". If you let others control your actions, even indirectly, you show them that they have power and control over you. Many tools that are beneficial are also "double-edged" and could be used for nefarious purposes. In most cases, they're better off existing than not.
