I have the same issue. It not only is gone from the Chrome Web Store, but it 
also seems to have been uninstalled from a Chrome instance of mine that already 
had it!

same issue here :(

Cannot find it one the Chrome Web Store and it couldn't be installed on a new 
installed Chrome instance anymore.

It may have been removed due to controversy over user-tracking in a newer 
version.

The issue was reported back in August of 2011. Strange that it just now 
disappeared from installed instances. What's the story with the current source 
here? Looks like the Git repository was started in September.

Well, I have to make a backup version of the extension so I can install it on 
every new computer.  Kind of a drag.

where is the line located?

It was more than obvious that his sneaky extension became malware/spyware. 

You couldn't even disable the web-tracking while he was saying stupid excuses 
like 'devs need to eat' etc... As I said, it was more than obvious. I had 
unistalled the extension before Google took it down. 

He wanted to become rich just by building one extension... Greedy bastards who 
sell their soul for fast-made dollars, without work -YES, WITHOUT HAVING TO 
WORK. "Maintain the code" my ass.

The offending part of the script is 
http://code.google.com/p/smoothgestures-chromium/source/browse/smoothgestures/js
o/contentscript.js

You can download the source of the plugin, go through, delete the offensive 
parts (just replace the init() and contentEdit() functions with no-ops), and 
you can build and install your own malware free copy.

It's a shame too; this was the only decent mouse gestures for chrome+linux.

If anyone else finds other parts of the script with malware, please let me know 
so I can update my local install.  I actually noticed it was infected when it 
was replacing all ads with an extremely annoying audio-enabled ad on all 
sites...
