AdBlock and other plugins, collect Chrome

Google has decided to focus hard on the security of its Web browser, Chrome, in concreting such as security passwords or blocking downloads of malware. And the web giant wants to go further on the extensions this time. He announced that from next January, should be verified by him and referenced on the Chrome Web Store to be accessible.

Google emphasizes the safety of users, who may use compromised extensions. However, we doubt the sincerity of total Google on this one Because Google wants to maintain full control over its platform, and thus be able to provide gains from the sale of paid extensions, although for the moment it does not seem to have paid applications.

So this is where it all goes bad, why Google validate an application such as AdBlock (which blocks ads, note), which therefore remove him its most profitable business, namely the advertising? Especially as to be valid, an extension must meet the conditions of Chrome, which specify for example that "the content can interfere with the operation of any server, network or services of third parties" is prohibited.

Google indicates that extension developers are encouraged to migrate their applications. Nothing indicates Adblock or other, will therefore be available in the future on the Chrome browser.
