SolutionBecause google is incompetent and dirty, question is, what Microsoft is going to do about google's bad behavior, because it is misleading users that are not tech savvy.

@HotCakeX This tug of war is crazy and I'm not for it. Too many companies want to monopolize, even though the products and service are not up to par.

by the way, this came to my mind to ask, was showing this banner the only way Google had to solve this problem? couldn't they talk to Microsoft internally instead of showing that banner to everyone in the world?

Google's claim it's because Microsoft didn't use their (Google's) revocation system is a sure sign that Google is attempting to become a monopoly on the web. Definitely fodder for the EU (the US won't do much if anything) in their anti-trust investigation.
Open sourcing the chromium engine and then requiring competitors to use your revocation service is simply not a good idea. Now if Google had said "Hey, Microsoft, please use our revocation service for updates to extensions downloaded from our services" then they would have some grounds to stand on. Extensions downloaded from Microsoft's extension services wouldn't be impacted by those revocations.

If google are not already a monopoly on the web then I don't know what they are.

@obermd I'll leave the lawyering to the lawyers. I will note, however, that there's no requirement that any Chromium-based browser use Google's Chrome Web Store. As you noted, Microsoft has its own extension store for Edge users, and you won't see any spurious warnings there.
