It appears Google is going full evil. We cannot update our browser extension.... because it has too many privacy features. @googledevs @ChromiumDev wtf? This was a response to an appeal of an earlier rejection.

Please re-post this so it gets some traction and appears on Google's radar. This is insane. First they shoved MV3 down our throats, and now this.

I've been using Firefox for the past two years, and I couldn't be more grateful for it.

They really want us to switch to @brave huh

Brave uses the Chrome web extension store, which Google gatekeeps, so that wouldn't help.

They basically want you to break down your extension into several separate extensions.

They should break up Google into separate companies instead.

We made it better (new anti-fingerprinting features), but Google won't let us release it...

Firefox gang rise up. No browser is perfect, but this is exactly why we can't let Google control people's main interface with the internet.

What the hell? They rejected the app for the exact reason people use Windscribe in the first place

This is why I had to start using Microsoft Edge browser extensions and importing them into chrome.

"Circumventing censorship". That is pretty damn disturbing. Everyone should be fighting censorship.

Maybe it's time that @brave and @opera to have their own extensive store. Maybe it can store the data on IPFS.

Once upon a time, Windows Explorer was the browser used by retards. Now it's Chrome.

Seriously? All those features serve one purpose: privacy. That’s a single use case. Google’s rejection seems more like an excuse than a valid policy enforcement @windscribecom

Many will think that Brave or Vivaldi or some other reskinned Chrome browser will work but THIS is what happens when you let one company become a monopoly that wants to control the internet and what you can or can't do while online. And those won't really help.

Change the functionality to just “stops privacy violations from governments and companies like Google”.

@google why would "masking physical location" be a violation? don't you guys "value" user privacy?

I doubt they’ll budge even with pressure. If all else fails just have multiple extensions with single features. It’ll perform better anyway as each extension will have its own thread.
