They turned one of the most popular Elementor addon plugins (Elementor Header and Footer) into a yet another bloat pack, that will now force itself into 2+ million WP sites. New features include a bunch of unnecessary Elementor widgets that no one asked for. It will load the styles and scripts for those widgets by default. And of course, it adds new options page for UAE Lite, which has 3/4 of its screen space dedicated for up selling stuff. Soon enough, there will be users with Essential Addons, Ultimate Addons, Premium addons, Happy addons and god knows whichever Elementor addons they will come up with next. At that point you might as well nuke the whole WP installation and start over.
