Facebook Contact-Scraping Chrome Extension Taken Down
- lhnn 16y agoWow, that's ridiculous. Glad I got to use it before it getting taken down! Was it against any ToS? AND, Does anyone want it hosted?
- jgv 16y agoIt would be great to see it hosted. I unfortunately never got the chance to use it.
- bmelton 16y agoI was waiting for this. Expected it even. ALMOST even made a comment that this might just get Facebook to block Chrome altogether, and how that would be an awesome turn of events. Ultimately, I figured I was just being cynical, and that the comment wouldn't add any value to the conversation, so I didn't post it. This makes it fairly apparent that FB really doesn't want their information getting back to Google, however unfortunate. I'm eager to hear the justification.
- thwarted 16y agoFacebook blocking chrome would be one way to fix/hide bugs on Facebook too. FB has been sending two Content-length headers in the responses[1] for profile image thumbnails for some weeks now, and Chromium 7 and 8 have been complaining and not rendering images. As more people change their profile pictures, the main feed page has increasingly looked like an old geocities page where all the images were to an external now offline server.
