Just a couple of loose thoughts on this:

-The permissions that pushbullet needed originally where a bit overaching.

-We never knew which was the offending one.

-Reading the original article it crossed my mind that some of the permissions the extension asked could be used for marketing (I'm not implying that they were used for that), and maybe google just didn't wanted extension developers to have a cut on that.

-I really don't like how this marketplaces have made big companies gatekeepers for market share.

Is kinda frightening that this doesn't get any more discussion here, because it means that the people that get the news here (developers, it staff or at least technical savvy users) aren't really concerned about the points he raises, even though they are very important in today's world.
