These are all sensible rules, and I think plenty of open source projects are doing fine on this front, though its important to note that properly keeping up with these practices is a full-time job.

Thanks! Make sure to explore the extension's options, it can be configured to fit most use cases.

I've added Pinterest to my reverse image search extension [1] to avoid having to sign up when there is no alternative source for the image. It returns Pinterest search results [2], and you can access the image directly from the image i

Adware will continue to be able to legally circumvent extension signing when it has root access and consent by the user. This only makes it prohibitive for users to customize their own browsers. It's also possible to make this setting

Chrome even allows installing local extensions that persist between browser restarts, after changing an option.

It is related to extension support in Firefox. Not offering any way to override this option, even if it takes 10 steps and it is marked by warnings, is hostile to users. We will continue to raise awareness of Mozilla's actions whenever

Again, this change prevents regular users from configuring Firefox the way they want. We should not need to install the developer edition, which is based on Firefox Beta, or an unbranded build that does not auto-update to be able to run l

Malware will have an unlimited number of methods to continue patching Firefox, this change only makes it harder for regular users to configure Firefox manually for installing extensions that have not been blessed by Mozilla.

Locking down Firefox to not allow installing private extensions is not unrelated to extension support.

Meanwhile Mozilla is attempting to prevent users with administrative access from installing private extensions in the release version of Firefox, extensions for which the source code has not been handed over to Mozilla for signing. https:&

Wouldn't that encourage developers to create more addictive apps, add longer UI animations, and apply other tricks to increase usage time? Valuable apps that require only short interactions would certainly suffer under this scheme. Jus

The problematic aspect of this story is that users cannot add their private extensions to the release version of Firefox, without having to hand over the source code to Mozilla for signing. Now we see that an unlisted extension created for

That's great! I thought their issue was that questions are marked off-topic without further handling, requiring users to ask again on a different site.

The issue is not about accepting donations through Google Play Billing, but about having a link in your app to the external donation page of the project. Could you link to the policy section that explictly bans external donation links fro
