    First AdNauseam, then this. I'm starting to wonder what the hell is wrong with Google. And why are they allowed to have such vague guidelines?

    They can do pretty much whatever they want. Unless courts intervene, as with the right to be forgotten etc.

    No court is going to care about the Chrome web store.

    Luckily firefox is getting better with every release and will soon be a viable alternative.
    In regards to Chrome, can't you use unofficial extensions when using the dev channel?

    Google Chrome is a proprietary browser. So they have control of what you do with their browser to make sure it support their business model.

    We are seeing the early stages of something very sinister happening but no one has realized what it is.

    And I'm surprised there are people who still use Google Chrome. I guess the people that use it are probably sheeple, aka brainwashed conformists, who don't mind being constantly spied on, monitored by and controlled by malicious government agencies lol.

    It's yet another impact of global climate change. Social disruption. Waves of migration. Resource wars. Repression to control resulting chaos. Welcome to your future :)
