While it's possible to build an interpreter in JS, doing so in an extension is an unambiguous violation of the Chrome Web Store Developer Program Policy. The goal isn't to make abuse impossible so much as to limit potential attack vectors in order to make enforcement more tractable.
- rektide 5y agoAnd now Google is behaving like Apple, in exactly the same way they rightfully criticize Apple, of being platform hegemonists. But thank you for sharing. I'll try to find this policy. I guess I wouldn't be surprised.
- rektide 5y agoah you have posted in the thread, telling us how the policy forbids creativity & interpreters (as apple does) but promising in some months you have some idea how maybe perhaps everything might not be as shit awful terrible awful as it sounds right now, how perhaps the general user might be given some break, not totally fucked over like it sounds like right now. in some months. you also call our concern misinformation, but your words in that thread seem to come as a surprise to everyone, to the tampermonkey folks, to myself, & there seem to be no public indicators that there is more to this story than the clampdown this headline & post indicate. I hope the future is indeed not so frakked as you say it might be. I am very very worried, and have seen few positive signs, hitherto your post, which is an unknown small hope against this grimness.
