I'd say it's perfectly acceptable for site owners to perform "click fraud" too. It's their computer after all, they can use it however they want. If click fraud is what they want to do, go for it. It's up to the ad networks to counter that on their end - on their own computers - in a fair and reasonable way. Just as browser extension runners have every right to have their computer do what they want it to - if that's click ads, so be it. Ultimately, I own my computer, it should do what I tell it to. As others have pointed out, Google could have easily detected this extension and ignored its clicks, just as they do with regular click fraud in most cases. Instead they chose a path which makes Chrome violate user choice. That I have a problem with.
