Same as this answer with much fewer details.

Um, so basically, you're saying that because you wrote an answer that had you copying stuff from the webstore to make it look more detailed, this answer is "not useful"? That has got to be totally against Code of Conduct. – Joe the Person – 2011-06-23T03:43:03.103

Wasn't my answer; I just happened to do some edits. – ale – 2011-06-23T12:02:24.137

Is that still a good reason to downvote? – Joe the Person – 2011-06-23T16:48:29.023

@AlEverett do note that fireDude's answer was posted before the other user's answer was. However, fireDude, the other answer is definitely better because it provides some more details. Just giving an external link with no context is not nearly as helpful as summarizing how the product you're linking to solves the problem, even if that is a direct quote. If you improve your answer by adding some more information, I would vote it up, but it's true that right now, it's not nearly as informative as the other one. – nhinkle – 2011-06-23T19:29:03.897

Does that still make this answer "not helpful", "spam", "rude/offensive", etc? – Joe the Person – 2011-06-24T00:45:11.000

Reasons for downvoting include the answer "not being useful". You might also want to look at the How to Answer guide for more information on that. /cc @nhinkle

Please state WHY it is not useful. If the OP clicks on the link, then it solves their problem by showing them an extension that will solve the problem. If this is not useful then either I'm mentally deranged, or the SuperUser community up there ^^^^ is mentally deranged. This is likely to get my account banned. See if I care. – Joe the Person – 2011-06-24T17:52:43.220

For one thing, linkrot happens. If the link stops working then this answer is absolutely useless. (Well, not anymore, since someone was kind enough to add some salient information.) – ale – 2012-07-17T15:31:51.823

If the link stops working then I'll come back and edit it. Additionly if the link stops working then how will information about what was there help? – Joe the Person – 2012-07-17T15:33:30.957
