People do this all the time if one room is full.
Developers need tools too so we shouldn't just abandon non-web technologies.
Now you have to drag the downloaded file into a tab with chrome://extensions open.
I don't know why Google hasn't left a switch in to deactivate this "security measure".

I was on a public computer recently and was shocked to see almost half the screen of a newspaper site was full with ads.
I would very much like a pay-to-remove-ads business model on free sites.

If you are not paying for something the provider has incentive to sell your data, not so much if you paid for it.

This would mean that Dropbox can't save space, thus it's alright I should pay for that.
Those don't represent lost sales, these people wouldn't have bought the game anyway.
