Extension unlisted in the Chrome Web Store

The extension stopped working today, and in the Chrome Web Store I see the message:

This extension is no longer available because it doesn't follow best practices for Chrome extensions.

Thanks for the heads up; I have a pull request of the conversion to MV3 that you can clone and install as a local unpacked developer build in the meantime:

  • https://github.com/0xdevalias/chrome-NewWindowWithTabsToRight/pull/20

I believe it should be more or less completely working; but I got distracted and haven't got back to finish testing it + publishing the update.

Thanks for the super quick reply! Before I saw your message I had created a fork to be able to use it in the meantime. Really looking forward to the update!

Just wanted to make a quick update here.. have been pretty busy lately, but this has still been floating around in the back of my mind.

I'm thinking what I might do when I get a chance is do some quick 'sanity checks' on https://github.com/0xdevalias/chrome-NewWindowWithTabsToRight/pull/20 in it's current state, and if that all works I will probably build/deploy an alpha/beta version of that to the Chrome Extension Store in the interim.. and then when I get some proper time to finish everything I want to do as part of that PR + test it properly I can make a proper release and deploy that as well.

Not sure when that will be (travelling at the moment), but wanted to note my plan here for everyone's info.

Since I haven't had a chance to get back to working on this in ages, I just did a quick check that the main functionality in https://github.com/0xdevalias/chrome-NewWindowWithTabsToRight/pull/20 seems to work; and then created a 2.0.0-alpha build of that + submitted it to the Chrome store.

I still intend to get back to finishing that PR 'properly' at some stage and getting it merged/etc; but at the very least, this should unblock the 'removed from the store because no MV3 version' blocker that currently exists from people being able to use the extension.
