Switch to Firefox. It has gotten much better.
And there's also a Pushbullet add-on for Firefox: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/pushbullet/ Not sure whether the functionality is the same.
Have been through a similar experience. Developing extensions for Google Chrome is a particular form of masochism. They really don't seem to care. And things took a turn for the worst last December when the approval process went from hours to weeks. Check out the Chrome Google group for a sample of the lost souls who hitched their wagon to the Chrome platform and now cry futilely into the abyss for support: https://g…
It seems like all extension developers play the same game of guess-and-check to find out which permissions they should remove, and the unlucky ones get banned for trying too often.
I can understand why Google is doing this though. They have a "Send to device" feature in Chrome. Killing the top 3rd party app is the perfect way to grow adoption of their new & in-built feature.

Another long-term PushBullet customer here. Anyone at Google who is listening- this kind of behavior kills my desire to continue using your products dead. I need functionality, of the type PushBullet has provided for years, to do my work. The recent nerfing of ublock origin has already had me feeling iffy on things.

They have also turned off all reviews in the Chrome Web Store: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=22935092
- Create a new whatsgroupp called 'ping self' and add your friend to it.
- Then kick your friend out from this group
- Open web.whatsapp.com and now you can access your messages, files, photos across any device anywhere, anytime! (telegram also does this and allows file up to 1gb)

While Firefox is better than Chrome... Mozilla is becoming more and more Google Like as time progresses, where a few years ago I would have believed it would be unthinkable for Mozilla do so something like this to an extension, today I am not so sure I would trust them either
That alone makes me use Firefox over Chrome.
