Ah, you wield that word like a Googler. Unfortunately, we have seen from other systems that users do not actually uninstall plugins they don't want; they just suffer. Often they do not know how to get rid of a plugin, or they want one feature, but not all the other features. The shape of v1 of the Chromium extension system is an attempt to guide developers into treating the UI as carefully as the Chromium team itself does. It may not work, but we think it's an experiment worth trying. If it fails, we can always add, but we cannot realistically take away. - a --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Chromium-extensions" group.
