Its not a secret in the industry, but I bet money that most of your users have no idea this is happening. They almost certainly wouldn't install those web extensions if this information was widely known.
As a rule of thumb, if you need to do something in secret to get away with it, its probably not ethical.
- paulryanrogers 1y agoIt's supposed to be in the terms of service. Otherwise it is indeed fraud/abuse. Though I'd agree that most users don't read the fine print.
- josephg 1y agoThis sort of behaviour isn’t allowed on the extension store at all. There’s no exception for extensions which tell users all their misdeeds in the fine print.
