I really dislike SaaS vendors who are being control freaks. My browser, my rules. That was always the fundamental design of the Web.

All Slack wanted was to C&D was trademark infringement.

If you read the original C&D they clearly did not just want to stop use of the trademark (or if they did, they certainly claimed otherwise, and got the extension should down vs renamed). It's nice that they could be convinced otherwise, but they clearly complained about the nature of the extension, not just the name.
