After 3 Years of Work, Chrome Killed My Extension and Won’t Tell Me Why

Perhaps if there were way to make the rules more programmatic and less ambiguous, these might be easier to resolve (like writing code to fulfill unit tests). But I suppose it probably still gets evaluated by humans on a subjective judgement, even if there is an objective rubric for most of the requirements.

I stopped developing browser extensions when Mozilla killed their only competitive advantage over Google and allowed Webextensions only.

What I ended up doing was uploading it to the store under a new category and hoped it would be reevaluated under different people or constraints and it worked. Has been up and running for over a year.
