Watch as this is shut down for talking about extensions. They did that to a studio protesting the ban.
But this is a good idea. Support.

I soooo agree! Awesome idea!

How would that work?
It wouldn't. Obfuscation is too simple.

The policy is dumb when you think about it.

Can't you just put it behind plaintext. Try using inference and deduction.

Like I'm not sure of you're online. I wonder what to see.

Sadly, @Jeditwo asked paddle2see on his profile, and linked to this, and got this reply:

Yeah, that's the sad truth. What do we do? I suggest we give is online a codename: sauce detector.

This suggestion was actually what I was thinking about before reading it. Support!

Totally agree.

I totally agree… I've always wanted to make an extension… now there's no point

Did NOBODY read this? They're not changing it!

I'd have to agree with you.

That is ridiculous. All that is going to do is keep our problems instead of solving them.

Mimi_Meow

i most definitely agree

I agree 100%. There's lots of harmless extensions out there that can be incredibly useful, but nobody will know about them.

Oh please don't tell me this is going to be a rejected suggestion if we have lots of good reasoning and only a few disadvantages!

imo it should be like how Roblox is doing it
basically
info about extensions and why they could be harmful (e.g. Gobo Gets Phished by Lightnin)
free reign of extensions on the site
if your account gets lost, it's your fault
That's how citizens become netizens, not being babysitted around

I have to agree, I wake up this morning and see the alert I got for having an certain extension that tells people of an online status *cough cough* linked in my about me. All I could really say was “well, darn.”
I got an alert for my posts about an extension I made. It's sad, because it was such a natural way to branch out from Scratch into HTML/JS and Extensions and stuff. I was going to make a second extension, and that one would have had even more learning about extensions with passing messages from background/popup scripts to the content scripts, and I'll learn that other ways, but it was the best way to do it, to naturally branch out from scratch to extensions.
You can use Scratch extensions still! You also just can't advertise extensions. I also have a question. Are bookmark-based codes allowed? I made one intended for Scratch that brings back the discuss button. Just wondering if it's allowed. So far, it adds the discuss button and makes a JS console for computers that have the console blocked and soon, it will have many Scratch extensions and custom features.
Yes, but because you can't tell anyone, no-one can get it.
So I can't advertise it? I really wanted to allow scratchers to program on mobile devices…
You cannot advertise bookmarklets, because they run JS. It's the same reason open source browser extensions aren't allowed.
Bookmarklets cannot autoupdate though.

But you can make them load JS from websites
