Maybe AdBlock is putting a dent in their numbers enough that they're willing to do this?

- natdempk 13y agoFrom my experience remediating machines at a university support shop, we see far more that have crap addons installed that hijack search and inject intrusive ads into every site. They're never installed through the Chrome App Store, so I'm guessing Google is trying to combat things like this where the end user installs a coupon finding program and their browser gets taken over as a result.
- andybak 13y agoHow does this affect AdBlock? This only affects extensions that aren't in the Chrome Web Store for some reason.
- Houshalter 13y agoIt might if they decide to eventually remove it from the store.
- octopus 13y agoAdBlock is in Chrome Store ... so it will keep running as before.
- rquirk 13y agoWhen/if Google remove AdBlock from the extension store, then you'll know it was the plan all along.
