Would be quite different if they patched it and broke important extensions, possibly facing serieous outcry and bad publicity.

[deryilz]

I agree that would change things but I can't picture an open-source extension with millions of users pivoting to rely on something that's clearly a bug.

[userbinator]

At that point it's a feature, not a bug.

Having millions of users on your side is great ammunition.

Important extensions like, dunno, uBlock Origin?

[eddythompson80]

Yeah, surely if chrome broke important extensions people will get mad and switch.

[devnullbrain]

That's what they already did.
