Two possibilities now since your last hypothesis was proven wrong with a simple git blame?
But sure, maybe the CTO/co-founder went rouge, lol.
What's the difference at that point? Both are leaders/founders of the company.
Either way, I don't want to use a browser that either someone is implementing affiliate links in the omnibar because they were stupid, or because they want $$$$.
The traffic and 99% of the browser code isn't theirs, why do they deserve affiliate money?
Btw there's a difference between being charitable and being naïve. It's obvious this was intentional.
What really happened was the CEO and the CTO sat down with these crypto companies and sketched this deal out to the T.
They hijacked the search terms "btc", "ltc", "bnb", etc. and herded users to those sites for a fee.
Could you imagine your scenario though? The CEO just woke up and was like WHOA where'd all this money come from, so the CTO says well I accidently added too many affiliate links, but the CEO was like ehhh keep it like that for a few months until people make a big deal about it, then I'll act surprised and remove it.
