Hit it right on the head. The localhost thing and coupled with the http thing make me cringe.
And to know they went from https://* to just one domain, yikes indeed. Then they left localhost. Hell, that probably made the case worker’s knee jerk even harder because of such a dramatic change, I can’t imagine they spend much time on each case.
Yes, 14 days is not a lot of time, but this is the ecosystem that needs to change. So the maintainer should have started out being more transparent on their architecture: period.
The fun is over, Google doesn’t care about loyalty or gestures of effort, this is an emotionless process. They care about provable, auditable compliance.
When you think about it, for Google, this is just a little sad story about an extension that didn’t make the cut. But it’s a small price to pay in exchange for evidence they are “enduring self-inflicted wounds” and using it as ammunition in avoiding billions of dollars in fines they face for violating user privacy laws.
Yeah, it sounds like they were working on a "it works, ship it" approach. That's not good enough when there are security implications to what you're doing.
