ME News reports that on July 6 (UTC+8), the Google Chrome Web Store recently updated its Developer Program Policies, which will take effect on August 1, 2026. The update explicitly classifies prediction markets as a prohibited category, banning extensions that facilitate or support real-money trading on prediction outcomes. Additionally, the new policy requires that user data collected by extensions be used solely for the disclosed purpose and prohibits any other use; it also introduces a ban on extensions designed to circumvent security measures of AI-driven services. Google recommends that developers promptly review their existing extensions for compliance. After August 1, extensions found non-compliant with these policies may be subject to enforcement actions by the Chrome Web Store. (Source: Foresight News)
