[ 3.3 ms ] story [ 10.7 ms ] thread
This is a huge downer for me, since I own an SAAS app that is partially distributed as a Chrome extension. Getting rid of the option for inline install makes my user installation story much, much more difficult and will probably have a direct negative impact on my income.

The blog post says that it's because of sites using deceptive inline installers, so yet another example of "this is why we can't have nice things".
