      The issue with an extension ls is it requires an install, getting everyone to install one extension is a hard task.

        Won’t speak for anyone else but I won’t install any extensions. The stores don’t have basically any disclosure of what they’re doing or what permissions they have.

        Also they’re used for fingerprinting.

          Yeah however for mass adoption this is a terrible idea, there is already the extra step to choose an instance versus a regular social media that is just one link and one button.

          I know for people like you and I choosing an instance isn’t that big of a deal, nor is an extra extension (though i try to use as few as possible) but for a regular user it might cause issues.
