Because the author reported it. Personally I would have told the ublock origin developers instead of google.

  To what end? So Google can see how it works and still patch it?

    Yeah, this was my thought process. I get the appeal, but I don't think a million-user open-source extension is gonna start relying on a clear bug to function.

    At least it would make them work for it.

      It would be creating more work for the Ublock Origin developer[1]; as far as I can tell it wouldn't be creating any extra work for Google, which has to patch the issue anyway. 1: Assuming he even elected to do it; I know I wouldn't.

        According to the article it would have been two additional lines for the extension developers.
