> AdNauseum wasn't targeted because it was small it was targeted because it abused ad networks instead of blocking them. Well, maybe. The stated reason for both of the bans was the single-use-only policy, which is clearly BS. The fact that AdNauseam is more damaging for Google certainly wouldn't help its case, but the fact that Google has now gone after uBlock as well indicates they don't make much of a distinction between the two. The point of my comment is not so much to relitigate the AdNauseam ban, but to argue that both bans were not errant mistakes but deliberate moves. > Chrome won't load any packaged extension that isn't in the store but it loads unpacked extensions regardless when you click the developer mode toggle. It looks like you're right, and I was not aware of this; I thought the packed extension blocking was specific to AdNauseam. The page I linked is being somewhat disingenuous on this point. Unfortunately, it's too late for me to edit my comment now.
