- andrewstuart2 4y agoI'm assuming that an extension update is precisely what triggered this behavior. It sounds like the extension had no need for alert functionality, and that this was a first occurrence, so I'd also assume they had to add code to trigger an alert rather than just blasting a brand new alert to users via written but previously-unused code.
- mh- 4y agoI'm fairly sure the Chrome Extension API doesn't have a way to implement "before self-updating, do this thing". This might have been their best/only option. The only other approach would be to notify them post-update.
