I would sure like to see one of these extensions that doesn't use affiliate links. I often want to use specific affiliates to support organizations like the EFF or Child's Play charity.
Not trying to be trollish, but I genuinely dislike this sort of monetizing and wish these extensions were at least more upfront about it.
What other reason is needed? Some of us intentionally use affiliate links from a person or cause we care about, and would like to know when the affiliat-izing changes.
>>and wish these extensions were at least more upfront about it
It's the third item on their FAQ (http://www.getinvisiblehand.com/faq). That's hardly hidden. I don't even use these services, but it seems like a reasonable way to make money.

Do you have a reason for feeling this way, aside from not wanting someone else to earn money from your action?
They are providing you with a service that saves you money, so I don't understand the hesitation.

How else would they make money?
