Imo, it's not a good idea to directly link to the extension as one might accidentally hit the "Add to chrome" button. (e.g. when coming from the homepage and not peeking into the thread here)

Unless someone changed the submission title within the 2 minutes of your comment and this reply... you really have a high expectation of catastrophe.

Edit: well, don't complain about the downvotes, but here I am after a few downvotes thinking "Wow, who are these baby-coddling users who think HN readers are idiots who don't read the headline and just accidentally click 'Add to Chrome'?".

So maybe to explain myself: I'm used to scan through the homepage and open link and comment side by side for a few things that I think are interesting to me. While reading through it, I might get interrupted. So I might come back to a link a few hours later. So lets say, I open up the extension page and forgot the initial context. So for me, it could theoretically happen that I install this extension cuz I assume links posted at HN to be safe.

Solved easily but not making rash assumptions and reading what you're clicking.
