If you want a S3-like product, I can highly recommend *not* using Hetzner's Object Storage offering. It is really bad. I love Hetzner, but this thing is clearly not production ready and not up to the normal uptime I expect of Hetzner. Their communication around outages is also pretty shitty.

Screenshot of the new Google extension affiliate rules.

The updated policy ensures that affiliate links are only included when they provide a direct and transparent benefit to users. This means that extensions cannot inject affiliate links when no actual value—such as a discount, cashback, or relevant offer—is being provided.

Under this policy, an extension must not add, modify, or replace affiliate links unless:

The affiliate program is clearly disclosed on the Chrome Web Store listing, in the user interface, and before installation.
User action is required before any affiliate link, code, or cookie is applied.
The affiliate link is tied to a direct benefit for the user at that moment.
