No one's claiming that it's malicious or illegal. It's just that a recommendation engine that recommends an old, unmaintained, copy-cat extension which wasn't exactly great back when it was new and maintained is not very trustworthy -- it's either very bad, or vulnerable to rigging.
It's like a movie recommendation engine that preeminently features Howard the Duck or something. It's not malicious or illegal but its recommendations are probably useless.
- st3fan 7y agoHoward the Duck was A+
- alxlaz 7y agoI mean, I didn't hate it, but my taste when it comes to movies is so bad that serious cinemas would ban me if they knew what kind of movies I watch.
- darkwater 7y agoCompletely off-topic but yeah, Howard the Duck is so bad that it is good.
- bepvte 7y agoTheres no recommendation engine, its all manual. I plan on submitting my silly little 9 line extension (https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/t-co-sanitizer/ https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/t-co-sanitize...) to the recommendation request email at some point.
