Thanks.
We got lots of love in other places like Twitter, LinkedIn, ProductHunt, Facebook and others. So that made the launch an overall big success :)
The only purpose of the extension is to make it convenient and easy to change your default on Chrome. Convenience usually wins on the internet.
The extension has permissions to write to one field. No read access. Chrome flags and lets you verify permissions when you install an extension.
Sadly, most users on the internet would not go into their settings to make a change.
Of course, here on HN there are a lot of experts who care about their privacy and can make that change manually.
We've listened and it's not required anymore to try it out. Being fully open is ultimately more aligned with our values of trust, facts and kindness.
