Google removed the extension from the store, without any clear reason communicated to me. I contacted them ... we'll see.

Thanks for your prompt response, can you plz guide how can I convert the .zip release file to crx to upload it manually in a browser?

htrinter commented 3 years ago

Please refer to the browser's documentation on how to load an unpacked extension. It's linked in the readme.

Got a response from Google. Apparently "tabs" permission is not necessary for creating new tabs. I removed the permission in v1.5.2 and resubmitted. Approval in Chrome Web Store is pending.

Thanks for the update, looking forward to see the extension back in the store.

Their problem is too wide permissions. IIRC there are sub-permissions. But they are dicks in communicating, indeed.

Google approved the new version. The extension is available again.

Thanks for the update.
