same policies apply for self-distribution if you want it signed Really? Do they actually review and reject them though? | 16:27:48 |
 stoic | they do | 16:27:57 |
 tulir | I thought self-distribution only had quick automated review 🤔 | 16:28:12 |
| stoic | there's always automated review for not-recommended-program add-ons | 16:28:34 |
| stoic | they do manual reviews on certain triggers | 16:28:51 |
| J. Ryan Stinnett | Hmm, that seems like a change in policy then... 😕 I did not think there was any regular full review when self-distributing. | 16:29:21 |
| tulir | ah right, so element just contains certain triggers which means it always requires a review | 16:29:34 |
| stoic | correct | 16:29:44 |

Hmm, that seems like a change in policy then... 😕 I did not think there was any regular full review when self-distributing. It's been like that for a while now. | 16:31:48 |

didnt realize they can remove extensions from ppls browsers firefox checks whether the certificate of add-ons is still valid latest on browser restart. hence why add-on-geddon could happen | 16:34:02 |
| J. Ryan Stinnett | Well, fabulous. Yet another thing for me to hate about Mozilla's absurd gatekeeping then. 🤬 | 16:34:24 |

Well, fabulous. Yet another thing for me to hate about Mozilla's absurd gatekeeping then. 🤬 personally i think those are valid concerns from AMO regarding radical, it'd require changes upstream tho, and i don't see that happen | 16:35:25 |
| J. Ryan Stinnett | I mean, I was aware they had the means to review and block self-distributed add-ons... Did not realise they were actually doing it regularly though. 😠| 16:35:28 |

personally i think those are valid concerns from AMO regarding radical, it'd require changes upstream tho, and i don't see that happen My personal view is more fundamental than that, I guess: I do not want Mozilla or anyone telling me what add-ons I can install. | 16:37:40 |
| stoic | fair point | 16:38:08 |
| stoic | i'd agree with that | 16:38:14 |
| * J. Ryan Stinnett adds this to the list of why I may need to build my own browser, even though I really don't want to 😠| 16:41:00 |
| stoic | hah | 16:41:12 |
| stoic | should be easy enough tho, no longer than a weekend | 16:41:40 |

should be easy enough tho, no longer than a weekend 😜 That's like gamers on Reddit saying "just add multiplayer, should only take a day" | 16:43:33 |
| stoic | heh | 16:43:47 |
| stoic | just need an addressbar to enter website names | 16:44:07 |
| stoic | how hard can it be | 16:44:34 |
 TravisR | Might I introduce you to WebView in WinForms? | 16:44:47 |
| TravisR | sure, it's an embedded IE10, but it's a browser | 16:45:03 |
| stoic | consider it done | 16:45:23 |
| TravisR | it has programmatic support for back and forwards too | 16:46:19 |
| TravisR | even a reload button! | 16:46:23 |
| stoic | :D | 16:46:31 |
