      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?

                                  Previously, it was, through an extension called "Install Chrome Extensions". Now it does not work. I can not understand the development path of the Opera browser

                                      But seriously, people do not moderate over the years. It's very sad

                                          2 months ago the moderation process started over again. But now is dead again. Even extensions with hundreds of thousands of users are on hold.
                                          It's impossible to work for Opera this way.

                                            @kurtq Why do you need an extension Opera? write for Google Сhrome, Chrome extensions work very well on Yandex.
