Counting clicks isn't taking into account the user experience when inline install is used properly. The intended use for inline install as far as I see is you have a website with a "add to Chrome" button for your extension, you click that, read the permissions and click "install". When you're redirected to an entirely new page instead and the user has to hunt for the install button, the user experience isn't quite as good.

This doesn't appear to be the intended use.
> - Your ability to hide the reviews and other details on the Web Store page, which is bad.
Inline install shows the average rating and a link to get more details. The store pages don't show the reviews unless you click on the "reviews" tab either.
