Technically, he is quoted by another poster further up in the discussion. But the developer does not deny this quote.

Holly crap? Do you honestly think I can monitor the whole internet so I can deny every affirmation made by some random dude?

Look! I deny it now, ok?! I haven't done anything like that. I just mentioned somewhere that it is technically possible to do such thing in an attempt to increase users' awareness about what would truly be a "horrible thing", unlike my attempt to support further development of my extension through advertising.

That's why I asked. I saw a few accusations of it, but in all the referenced threads, could not locate you mentioning the accusation at all. I've not used the extension in a while, otherwise I would have dug into the JS itself to answer the question.
