You think Google would make it so Chrome would not handle their extension? That would cause such a shitstorm for Google - and isn't Adblock a far more likely target if they wanted to go down that road?
- jacquesm 16y agoAdblock is not site specific, google could make it their policy that any extension targeted to mess with advertising on a specific site would be against their TOS. This would catch a whole pile of potential malware and, unfortunately, stuff like this would be caught in the dragnet.
- sandipagr 16y agoIt's the user who are agreeing to the TOS by visiting a given website. Google cannot define TOS for any other website. They can however do it for their own website. But then, since it's the user who visits the website, why should an extension designer be responsible? And it would be crazy for anyone to go after each user without making a big mess.
