Google Struggles to Justify Why It's Restricting Ad Blockers in Chrome

Today, as part of Project Strobe, we’re continuing that effort with additional Chrome Web Store policies. Specifically:

• We’re requiring extensions to only request access to the appropriate data needed to implement their features.
• We’re requiring more extensions to post privacy policies, including extensions that handle personal communications and user-provided content.

We’re announcing these changes in advance of the official policy rollout this summer to give developers the time needed to ensure their extensions will be in compliance.
