> It literally one of the features on the extension's description page.
Yes, but just one of the features, and not one I've been using because I wasn't interested in it at the time. This is a classic "advertising" opportunity that companies do all the time called "upselling," and it's absolutely an ad because the whole point is to get me to start using a feature that I'm not currently using.
I think many of the responses here have been overreactions, and "advertising" is definitely a dirty word on HN and gets some severe and undeserved knee-jerk reactions, but it is what it is.
