One thing I wish I had called out more clearly in my post ("See it in action") was the fact that the "feature" would re-enable itself after every update of the extension, which seemed to be quite frequently.

It's a shame; it really was a feature-packed, helpful extension.

No it doesn't re-enable after any update. It only re-enables if you uninstall the extension and install it back, because settings are lost and it switches to the default. Please check your facts before making such claims, ok? Anyone with minimal JavaScript skills can look at the source code and see exactly what's happening!

Thanks!

Whether or not it was your intention or the design of your extension, that was the behavior I observed - hence my factual claim.

I've looked deeply into your extension and you did a very nice, impressive job. I don't believe anyone is discounting the quality of your work here. The pattern you exhibited by enabling the ecolinks feature by default (right or wrong) simply highlighted, for many, the risks inherent in granting browser extensions such great permissions to the browser.
