My extension, which was just a script block and some CSS tweaks was banned as it was a paywall bypass for a popular news site in Australia.
Fair enough according to their policy but I couldn’t help feeling disappointed when I got the email as the extension was quite popular at the time.
- dannyw 8y agoAdblock: OK. Paywall bypass: Not OK. Hmm...
- joshschreuder 8y agoYeah I know right? The reason given was: > We don't allow products or services that facilitate unauthorized access to content on websites that circumvents paywalls. The functionality from the extension was roughly possible with a set of adblock rules anyway, I just packaged it up for the less technically inclined.
