Chrome thinks the extension is malware #2

Got this warning when launching Chrome: image

The link to the extension in the Chrome store now returns a 404 -> https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/mcdcbjjoakogbcopinefncmkcamnfkdb

The only differences between my locally installed version of this extension that is marked as malware, and the most recent commit on this repo are:

  1. index.html has a "please support me" message (see below)
  2. the icons (*.png) are different file sizes but visually look the same - the files I have locally are PNG's with an alpha channel, and the ones in the repo do not have an alpha channel.

The message from my local version, compared to this repo is:

<div id="trial-ended">
        <p>
                Your trial of Lorem Ipsum Generator has ended. Please support me by buying the extension.
        </p>
        <p>
                <a target="_blank" href="https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/lorem-ipsum-generator-def/mcdcbjjoakogbcopinefncmkcamnfkdb">Buy the extension</a>
        </p>
</div>

And that URL is a 404.

That message above won't display due to https://github.com/jardrake/lorem-ipsum-generator/blob/master/main.css#L70-L72 which has been there for some time. I suspect this is not the current source for the actual extension published in the Chrome store.
