Is $100 a year that big of a deal? It also blocks out anonymous developers.

  As a road bandit I would at least try $200.

  It's the perfect storm of being very affordable for scammers as a cost of business but being attached to a fundamental lack of anonymity and a single point of control that makes it so dangerous for anyone developing tools to fight oppressive governments etc.

  The $100/year pricing makes me think of the discussions about making email a paid service to fight spam (a single message would cost a fraction of a penny, so "normal" users would pay a cent or two a year while spammers would pay tens of thousands). It's both good and bad; it means there are a few roadblocks to distributing an extension (nefarious or not), but it's also not such a huge roadblock that a bad actor can't work around it.
