- sneak 6y agoThe logic in an ad blocker rarely needs to be updated, only the non-executable filter lists.
- jefftk 6y agoIf you have automatically updating data the extension can be an interpreter, which can be asked to do anything.
- sneak 6y agoWell, sure, but it seems like extensions that download remote code are being explicitly banned by Google per TFA. I can't imagine that they intend that to extend to even non-executable tabular data.
