What is going on with extension reviews?

3 pointsby actionowlover 5 years ago
I submitted a fairly simple browser extension to every major browser web store (Firefox, Chrome, Edge, Opera).<p>- Firefox approve it almost immediately.<p>- Edge approved it after about a week.<p>- Chrome approved it after 2 weeks.<p>- Opera still hasn&#x27;t approved it. (I&#x27;m not too concerned about Opera either, I was just curious how their process differed)<p>I selected &quot;Unlisted&quot; when submitting the Chrome extension because I thought I&#x27;d have some time to test installing it from the web store. After it was approved I went back to change it to &quot;public&quot; and it&#x27;s now pending moderation again and has for about 2 days after that simple change. I made no other code or content changes.<p>This does not seem sustainable to me, I&#x27;ve worked on Chrome extension for years and this intense manual moderation is fairly recent. Does anyone know what&#x27;s going on?
