          Hello!
          Added his extension MoneyBack.biz Browser Extension Dec 3, 2018, the status for today is not moderated.
          The new version was released Feb 15, 2019, not moderated. After several months of waiting, he put a mark on "I want my extension to be available for auto-publishing". Nothing has changed.

          Please make the application moderation. thank

            Last week, changes with the "automatic" moderation did not happen. Please upgrade even manually, maybe it will be faster

              Hm...seems system is really random. That suddenly started at november 3 and continue until now. (I already upload some versions of the extension before and they was published after from few days to 1 month, but not a almost half of year without any feedback or notifications)

                  Please answer, how long will this nightmare last for moderation? When (at least an approximate time frame) is it worth waiting for improvements? thank

                      @leocg , I reread this topic half a year ago, immediately as I downloaded the application. Do so many extensions expose the developers, that for moderation takes years? Why do other browsers have no problem with that? This is very bad

                        In the other browsers addons store, the moderation is made automatically while in Opera it is (or used to be) made manually.
                        Not so long ago, Opera started changing to the automatic moderation process.

                          I saw, this is how I understand the standard answer. Are there really so many plugins that moderation lasts for years? Why does someone moderation take a month, someone two years? What are the criteria to speed it up?

                                Our addon for example (https://addons.opera.com/developer/package/155875/) as I think with most other users, it is also written under Google Chrome browser and is in the store (https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/shoptoolbar/gofimkonmcidflfadieanbgehomidjdm), and it is not 100% identical, if there was a field in which I could indicate this I indicated what was the point of checking it if it was already checked? Moreover, the addon may change in some cases several times a month, and it’s not actual, of course, for customers it’s not interesting, they use in this case other browsers, in which it is up-to-date and working. The checkout time in Google is 1 hour, you used to have about a week, which is uncritical, but recently it happens once in half a year.

                                  Hello, Opera team

                                  our extension was first submitted for moderation on 7 september 2017, today it is 27 march 2019 and it is still not moderated. That is 565 days or 1,54 years. Please let me know you thoughts on this matter.

                                  Extension ID: moekeoinnnfapinppebpbffhaeeejlgp

                                  Thank you

                                    When will this mockery of extension developers finally stop?
                                    Why do we have to wait so long? It seems to me that nobody is just doing this, the extensions are abandoned. I am sure that a team of several people in a month would check all that has accumulated over the years.

                                      The expansion from Dec 3, 2018 has not passed the moderation. The situation is absolutely not adequate. I did not abandon the hopes of moderating my extension just because extensions from your store are suitable for the yandex browser. If it were not for this fact, I would have stopped the development for your browser for a long time. And many developers from Russia, Ukraine and other countries would have done the same. Shame Opera

                                            It sure would be infinitely easier and cheaper for both developers and Opera if the Opera team would allow extensions to be loaded from the Chrome Web Store as the Vivaldi and Brave browsers do.

                                            Here is my math:

                                            Cost for developers to submit and Opera to review extensions = X
                                            Cost if we just used the Chrome Web Store = 0

                                            X divided by 0 = ∞

                                            Does anyone see a mistake in my math?
