New policy is this:<p>&gt; Affiliate links, codes, or cookies must only be included when the extension provides a direct and transparent user benefit related to the extension’s core functionality. It is not permitted to inject affiliate links without related user action and without providing a tangible benefit to users.<p>&gt; Some common violations include:<p>&gt; Inserting affiliate links when no discount, cashback, or donation is provided.<p>&gt; An extension that continuously injects affiliate links in the background without related user action.
