Can we remove users count and rating for inline installation

[Harikrishna Srinivas]

Hi,

I have used inline installation for my app in website, now when i click on the Add to Chrome button the popup show the users count as well as the rating with details link.

Can we avoid these details while installation for my users.

Thanks,

Harikrishna Srinivas

Not currently, no. I will make a note of your request.

Hi Joe,

I can able to install by clicking on my custom link. But actually I need to start download when ever user came to my page. So I keep "chrome.webstore.install()" function when page is loaded. Its not starting downloading my extension.

If I keep in click function then its working. Can you please let me know, is it only will work for click events. even I tried by triggering the click event of button. still its not working.

Yes, we require that Inline Install be the result of a user-initiated action. You can't initiate the install on something like a page load.

Thank Joe,

Is there any chance to allow in future for these kind of requirement.

[Joe Marini]

I'll make a note of your request, but one of the main reasons we do this is for end-user security and experience. Imagine you're a user and you visit a site, and the first thing that site tries to do is prompt you to install an app on your computer. Not exactly a great way to gain that user's trust.

Thanks Joe

The number of users and rating are shown for te same reason: to give users another signal as to whether or not this is a trustworthy app to install.
