It appears to be an easy way to at least weaken this practice:
Why doesn't chrome prompt it's user / demands a confirmation of permissions when an extention changes ownership, before updating it again?
It could at least impact the rentability of this buying up of extentions, but definitely help alert users of such things
- RobLach 9y agoHow would they know it changed ownership?
- a012 9y agoBut it couldn't/won't guarantee anything, say Chrome could notify user the change ownership of an extension then the new owner state that they won't be evil, blah blah blah, but 1 or 3 months later they changed their minds and send ads to users. What next?
- rasz 9y agobefore that - why doesnt Chrome let you DISABLE updates?
