Hey @zephyr! We’ve seen an increase in the installation of Recommended Extensions. As mentioned in [this blog post](https://blog.mozilla.org/futurereleases/2019/02/19/keeping-add-ons-safe-for-our-users/) from earlier this year, we do want to find the balance between openness and security, so we are keeping an eye on installation rates for non-Recommended extensions.
