The link gives no explanation as to why it is being flagged. Removing and reinstalling does not reenable it. Current build. 39.0.2145.4 (Official Build f9fb13e427362aba7038117455ba43933bb19d86-refs/branch-heads/2145@{#7}) dev But it started several dev releases back.

I am receiving the same error.

Have you applied any manual edits to extension's files?

todddetmer commented 9 years ago

I did, to try and fix this issue. https://github.com/cezarsa/silver_bird/issues/429

So here you have it, this is not an error in the extension. Chrome (starting from a certain version) apparently keeps checksums of all extension files and blocks the extension if the files are modified.

One solution to that is to publish a new version of Silver Bird through the Web Store. This is unlikely to happen with the original Silver Bird: it is unmaintained since over a year for reasons unknown.

Alternatively, one can load the extension unpacked. Though I'm not sure if it will break OAuth keys or not.

Finally, I plan to make a fork of Silver Bird. It's in very preliminary stages (no actual code changes yet) at https://github.com/kav2k/silver_feather. Hopefully I can maintain an alternative yet still open-source version. Then this will be fixed.

Cool. Thanks.

There was no local modification in my case.
