I appreciate the tone of this video. FWIW we've had some false positives around being flagged for remote hosted code. The team has learned about a lot of edge cases that are allowed but that automatic scans trigger as being out of compliance. If you do get flagged, the support team is pretty good about learning about your use case and guiding you to make something compliant or to describe the nuances of what is or isn't allowed. Agreed that this is a big change and a major pain for some devs, but it's for a good reason. There have been a lot of articles exposing bad browser extensions that can hijack all sorts of things and that's why this change is necessary. We need users to trust that extensions are safe if we're going to continue to have all the awesome tools that browser extensions provide.
Hey Ian! Great to see you - I really appreciate your patience in helping find the edge cases of what should and shouldn't be allowed. Yall make great stuff!
Thank you very much. I do create chrome extensions and never had any issue with remotely hosted code (I don't use any) but it was still interesting to learn a little more about it 🙂
It Depends™. Some of it is blocked via content security policy, some of it is blocked using store moderation. For the former, not without forking/recompiling Chrome (except for things like sandboxed s, content scripts, user scripts, etc). For stuff that is blocked using Chrome Web Store moderation - go nuts. We aren't reviewing it, so theres no way for us to block it.
nah. I get that you are unlikely to believe someone who works at a company with such a deep integration with Ads, but that is simply false. I work with every single ad and content blocking extension (modulo those who do not respond to contact) to make sure they have what they need to be as effective as possible. If you have specific questions or issues I would love to have a chance to talk about it!
I like this host. His pronunciation is so clear and easy to understand.
Thanks! Really happy you liked it :D

Thank you for the video.
Remember manifest v3 is here to make the web a "better" place /s
For a certain ads company
Can you still use remove hosted code in a private extension?

Well this was a fast turn-around.
how do you mean?
I agree with you.

Your point is to make ad blockers harder...

@@patrickkettner8398 Most ad blockers works with some sort of ad database, how would it be possible to fetch the data from the extension?
amazing but
