- ecaroth 15y agoDefinitely funny as hell though! I like the part about looking at me through my webcam. I am more prone to try this product now than I would be after reading a normal privacy policy. This may be a jab at mozilla also as they REQUIRE a privacy policy for every addon.
- fligtar 15y agoPrivacy policies are entirely optional for add-ons unless they do something with user data.
- warp 15y agoAccording to one of the comments the add-in rewrites amazon searches to provide affiliate income to the authors of the extension. So, it may not be in jest. I certainly wouldn't use this extension.
- batista 15y agoI don't see any problem with affiliate links. We do we think that we are totally entitled to someone's work, be it a plugin or anything, but have problems giving back even in the totally easy, transparent and of no cost to us method of affiliate links? I'm not talking about this add-on or comment in particular, I'm talking a animosity I see towards affiliate links in general.
- sp332 15y agoAffiliate links seem OK if your website is actually driving traffic to e.g. Amazon.com, but simply rewriting every link to Amazon.com on any page (even ones that already were someone else's legit affiliate links) seems a bit abusive.
- nathanb 15y agoDo you really want to be a victim of an arms race where every extension tries to outdo all other extensions when it comes to rewriting affiliate links, etc?
