Description

  • setRate: so that the extension can set the default rate (and potentially a custom rate for a site/origin)
  • pay: one-time payments
  • updateBalance: creating a new grant when grant is used up (or anytime as currently implemented in the WM extension)
  • disable: disables payments (no monetization sessions get started)
  • enable: enables payments (monetization sessions get started again)

Note that naming is not decided yet.
