Interesting. Anyhow I expect this is leading towards Google having more of a walled garden and eventually banning Ad Blocking extensions and loop-holes like Tamper Monkey.

Yeah, if you don't like TM. Honestly, I was resistant to this method, but since we had those headaches a few months back with directly installed .JS extensions, I installed TM. Quite frankly... it works better than the locally-installed .JS extensions ever did...

Well, yes, that would get me off of Chrome. But I would go kicking & screaming.

I sincerely hope that this isn't the direction this is going.

Nope.

Do you see a button in the lower right of the map editor that looks like a couple chain links?

That's the new permalink...

Developers just have to upload their extensions to the webstore. That's not very complicated... For example Toolbox is already on the webstore.

Edit: each developer can upload up to 20 projects for free.
