Tumblr asks users (via dialog box) to uninstall popular Missing e browser add-on
- brcrth 15y agoWouldn't be easier for Tumblr to bring the desired features of the addon to Tumblr?
- kevingadd 15y agoThat won't magically make people stop running the broken addon. If they went so far as to put this dialog box on Tumblr, the addon must be doing some seriously broken shit that causes them real pain, and it must be creating real support requests.
- nodemaker 15y agoRather than jumping on the bandwagon of accusing tumblr for infringing on user's rights ,I think we should give the guys the benefit of doubt which is well deserved for creating an awesome free platform. There probably are some serious technical reasons why this add-on is creating problems for them and affecting user experience.
- darkane 15y agoIf the add-on is actually causing excessive page requests and erroneous support inquiries, this seems like a very reasonable response. And they didn't ask the users to uninstall the add-on, they notified them of a supplement to the agreement stating that users shouldn't expect support if they wish to continue using it.
- callumjones 15y ago'....its own official “app store” instead of whining about support and server issues.' No, you can't just willy nilly suggest that each website have their own App Store.
- thetylerhayes 15y agoSo glad I wasn't alone in that thought.
- d5tryr 15y agoWhining? Just make an app store? I don't know which is worse the stupid complaint or the absurd solution?
