Google is updating its policies for Chrome extensions to ban any that rewrite affiliates links following the Honey scandal. This is a great idea. That was mad shady.

The Verge · Google changes Chrome extension policies following the Honey link scandal
@kkarhan@infosec.space@carnage4life I have mixed feelings about that.
- Shure #PayPal doing the #Honey #AffiliateStealing is unacceptable, but I could understand it if people made something that is actually consensual that does it.
I.e. a "creator support" plugin that allows people to add and choose affiliate links by someone.
- This is espechally true for people who don't have a #CreditCard nor PayPal account (i.e. most people in #Germany) that still want to support their social nedia icons.
That being said even #PC manufaturers like #hp got caught [www.youtube.com] shoving #AffiliateLinks onto #preinstalls with #bookmarks!
- Also rewriting also means removing as well...
