Adding such a speed bump where the user must explicitly approve the upgrade because of a change of ownership of the company that provides it, would leak a fair percentage of the users. This would decrease the value of the product/company when sold. User friendly, but creator (who has bills to pay) unfriendly.
- sfink 3y agoIt seems fair for the browser to charge a fee (in the form of losing a percentage of users) in exchange for money earned by stealing data from users. Creators do not get offered large sums of money by entities motivated by the desire to better serve the creator's users. So yes, I agree that it would decrease the value of selling out. I see that as a good thing. It fights against what is currently killing the extensions ecosystem for everyone.
