Given all the recent postings on HN lately about the DoJ sniffing around google re: anti-trust.... You'd think this would be a really bad time to be doing this...

Isn't one of the 'main' criteria around anti-trust how a company impacts the consumer ? this sort of thing sounds harmful to the consumer (fewer choices, actively taking down products consumers use, etc.)

I agree, maybe the DoJ should ask why it is so hard to make an extension? A little pressure would act against the forces that make them decide when in doubt, shut down extension.
