The Chrome Web Store blocks duplicate extensions

Google is working on strengthening policies to prevent extensions (extensions) with spam, duplicate and ineffective action.

According to Google, the company launched a Ninja technique to completely ban the developers of Chrome Web Store from doing fraudulent acts. And the company has also added many rules to its new anti-spam policy, which will be specified in the Developer Program Policy section.

'We do not allow any developer or their affiliates to submit multiple extensions with experience or duplicate functionality on the Chrome Web Store,' Google added.

The Chrome Web Store reinforces the policy against duplicate extensions

Many gadget developers have intentionally published various extensions, but once installed on the device, they all provide users with the same type of content and data. This is a fraud, and Google is trying to prevent this action. The new policy of anti-spam extensions will make developers no longer able to submit the same gadget experience content, regardless of metadata or source code.

This is a warning to developers trying to manipulate the extension market to increase ratings, reviews, or downloads by bogus methods. In addition, Google has been actively suppressing extensions containing spam messages or abusing notifications. The company said it does not allow browser extensions to send messages on behalf of users without their consent or send unwanted notifications.
