ALT Dear Developer, As part of our ongoing efforts to improve the extension ecosystem, we are updating our Affiliate Ads Policy to further clarify how affiliate links, codes, and cookies can be used in Chrome extensions. What’s Changing? The updated policy ensures that affiliate links are only included when they provide a direct and transparent benefit to users. This means that extensions cannot inject affiliate links when no actual value—such as a discount, cashback, or relevant offer—is being provided. Under this policy, an extension must not add, modify, or replace affiliate links unless: • The affiliate program is clearly disclosed on the Chrome Web Store listing, in the user interface, and before installation. • User action is required before any affiliate link, code, or cookie is applied. • The affiliate link is tied to a direct benefit for the user at that moment. For example, an extension that finds and applies coupon codes must not insert an affiliate link if no cou
ALT Why This Matters This update helps maintain a healthy ecosystem by ensuring that affiliate monetization is aligned with user benefit. Users should always be in control of their browsing experience and understand how extensions interact with the websites they visit. By enforcing these requirements, we aim to protect users from deceptive practices while allowing high-quality, value-driven extensions to thrive. What These Updates Mean for Developers Developers should review their extensions to ensure compliance with the updated policy. If your extension uses affiliate links, make sure they are only applied when they directly benefit users and that all required disclosures are in place. We encourage developers to update their extensions as soon as possible. Enforcement of the new policy will begin June 10th 2025, and extensions found in violation may be subject to removal from the Chrome Web Store. For more details on these updates and to access the revised policies, visit our Dev
ALT SponsorBlock extension review: SponsorBlock reeks of elitist, preppy brats—smug, dull-witted jobsworths obsessed with control. What began as a clever concept has spiralled into petty ego wars, where one slip-up—or a few—could shatter your faith in humanity. Now it’s a mess, enforcing a sadistic perfectionist’s rulebook at gunpoint. Don’t dare offer help submitting—you’ll regret it. Scrap the leaderboard feature! Some of the worst offenders I’m targeting in my review are plastered on it, unhinged lunatics treating this thing like some twisted game of popularity. They are making the app dead! This is aimed at the admins and mods, the behind-the-scenes politicking that poisons this once great app. The summit segment practically shrieks, 'READ THE GUIDELINES!!!'—a tiny, glaring peek into how much they truly value your help. Don't give them your time, best avoided.
