supporting the fork with updates to the opt outs is good, but the change to the add-on seems gratuitous. a more user friendly approach would have been to give them the 'downgrade' update, and opened a tab offering the 'enhanced' abine privacy add-on. the update behaviour feels more appropriate for a scammy toolbar, than a useful privacy extension. among their target audience wouldn't this be a turn off? |

They should have made their new version a new extension. I think they were trying to take advantage of the previous user install base without realizing this is really a power-user addon.
I'm impressed that they are willing to help while they try and get a handle.
Ideally they would do what you said and issue a "roll-back" to v2.0 with a link to the enhanced add on.
I applaud them for their openness and responsiveness, not their marketing tactics. We'll see where it goes from here.
