Hey, has the Addon been removed from the Chrome App Store?

YePpHa commented 10 years ago

Seems like it. I got an email from Google stating that it somehow went against their policy.

Damn, Any chance, you'll change the addon, so it doesn't get deleted again?

YePpHa commented 10 years ago

I have no idea what caused it to be removed. I already removed the download feature and changed the name of the extension. I will try to look more into this soon.

PwN0GrPhy commented 10 years ago

Ok, let's hope it won't take too long.

What another extension did was create a simplified version of it for the chrome web store with many features neutered.

Then you'd have to go to the extension's website to install the full version. I think the extension that did this is called Youtube Options.

Zerathos commented 10 years ago

The only thing YouTube Options removed from the web store version was the ability to download videos, which YouTube Center already did.

WildGenius commented 10 years ago

Any update to this?

YePpHa commented 10 years ago

I will probably try to make a version of YouTube Center where I remove every mention of download and I will then try to re-submit the addon, but I just haven't gotten to it yet. I will probably try it soon.
