They're not going to be able to spend millions of dollars to fund better human moderators and tools for the extension reviews when a typical extension brings what, a few cents for Google?
They probably can't justify the resources to do the sort of specific feedback that would make this process much better.
Can someone from Google use a throwaway to explain why the hell their support is garbage. From the Chrome store, to G-Suite, to Pixel Support. It's just awful.
As a former Call Center Director, it's pretty amazing to me how much bad-will these massive companies are willing to foment by not running their support correctly.
It's not that hard / expensive guys... you can hire great support employees for $20 / hour all across America.
As a user I want my browser's extension support to be more like Visual Studio Code's than like Atom's. Visual Studio Code has fine grained permissions, and prevents extensions from going through and changing everything. Still, it's nice that Atom exists so if I want more powerful extensions, I can use Atom.
There's two ways to go that I see. One is for someone to release an alternative browser that let you install pretty much any extension, sort of like Atom. The other is for the company that wants to provide the user with an innovative browsing experience to develop their own browser, which is what Brave has done.
My reaction to Pushbullet is, as the author of the top comment on a recent post put it, "Yikes" [0]. They have funding from reputable VCs but they require way too much permission and store way too much user data for what seems to be occasionally useful utilities, and this places them alongside the Ask Toolbar in my mental model of the space.
So... what was the issue?
So what was the actual change they were required to make?

What happened to the iOS app? I have it, but it isn't available in the US App Store anymore, nor is it linked to from the site's page anymore. https://apps.apple.com/us/app/pushbullet/id810352052

The dev said the iOS side of things are irrelevant for them anyway since most of their users are on Android, which is frankly disheartening since there's no alternative for iPhone users with linux desktops now
