Update: the extension is still working on the store! But only for another few months:

- In June 2023, the Chrome Web Store will no longer allow Manifest V2 extensions to be published with visibility set to Public. All existing Manifest V2 extensions with visibility set to Public at that time will have their visibility changed to Unlisted.
- In January 2024, following the expiry of the Manifest V2 enterprise policy, the Chrome Web Store will remove all remaining Manifest V2 items from the store.
This tool is super useful though, thanks for building it! Even if it was removed from the store, it would have been worth cloning the repo and trying to build it myself if really needed to.
@darthwalsh Thanks for the kind words! I'm glad you found the tool useful.
For the deprecation timeline, I think that might actually be on pause / TBD (based on this post), but it is also hard to tell because Google has changed their minds at least a few times based on outcry from developers and users. Regardless, this is something I need to address at some point - I've just found it hard to carve out a big enough chunk of time to work on it.
