manganum.app chrome update

When starting Chromium today a tab opened:

https://manganum.app/?utm_source=recenthistory&utm_medium=update&utm_campaign=internal&utm_goto=https://manganum.app/features/history

This is odd. Maybe a trojaned extension?

The "Recent History" extension was the cause for that.

Uladzimir Yankovich1 day ago Hey 👋

Sorry for the inconvenience my extension caused you.

Yes, I understand that the browser is a private space. So, I understand your concern.

You are right. Our Recent History extension opened a tab with a link to the Manganum extension website. We do this once a quarter. The fact is that many users who have the Recent History extension installed do not use it. Therefore, opening a tab is the only way to reach them.

We spent almost two years creating Manganum. This is a really great extension. And there is an excellent History app. It is essential for me to tell about Manganum to as many users as possible.

Of course, I understand that this does not change the fact that yesterday you were shocked and angry. I want to share all the information with you so you can better understand my motivation in making this decision.

If you have any more questions or ideas, I'd be happy to answer; always in touch: yankovich@manganum.app 🤗
