Is the whole tinfoil hat motif too passive aggressive for a new Chrome Web Store slide + messaging about privacy?

My Chrome extension faced some blowback for being a bit excessive with permissions (even though they were used reluctantly & sparringly). Even after removing them, the damage is done and it looks like people haven't gotten the message yet.

I think I just discovered this ridiculous macOS bug? Go into Expose, hold and subtley drag a window up, let go, and keep repeating. The windows will keep shrinking.
14 years ago the Mac and Windows platforms had the opposite policy for free-for-all widget placement on the desktop vs hidden away. 😵‍💫

Now that Chrome lets extensions use the side panel, I slapped together my dream vertical tab manager - **Tab Shelf**.

It's still a work in progress, so I'd appreciate all the feedback and feature suggestions I could get!

It's live on the Chrome Web Store now:

I've also put together a simple user guide:

...and yes, it does support dark mode!

Manage your tabs from the side panel.

It's been a while since I've felt proud about this minor refresh of my own website. After nearly 4 years I'm finally implementing rudimentary RSS support and search.
