Yeah, pissing off the ecosystem is a great way to drive users to your competitors. Requiring users to manually install and update a popular extension is a subpar experience.

It seems they spent so much of their budget on the CEO's salary that they couldn't afford an extension review team.

Quoting open-paren comment (2024):
