I have been waiting to get a reply from reviewers for any of the submitted extensions for 9 months now. They are available for Firefox and Chrome.

I have been waiting for my Opera add-on to be reviewed since October (7 months ago). I keep uploading new versions as we release to Chrome, Edge, and Firefox, but still no response to our initial Opera submission.
Opera, we have many Opera users who are asking for our Extension, can you provide any help here? Squeaky wheel gets the grease?

@verifiedfirst I'm sure you will get never an answer. Opera doesn't care about extension developers nor about this forum.
From time to time some random guy posts "We know we have to improve and are working on it". That's it. No improvement happens.

Almost 5 months here - have they stopped reviewing extensions and just not bother to tell developers?

The update for Web Panel was approved a couple of days ago, approximately one month after submission. They seem to be working, but understaffed.

Our extension was submitted on November 21 2017.
Still no approval, so after 9 month wait we just delete it. Opera has really low user base, so it's pointless to wait this long. -

Hello, guys. We wait very long while our extension will complete moderation. What can we do for speed up the process?

@roskvartal you might go through the code and check naming... and resend it.

@roskvartal Do you have a link to extension somewhere. Not that it matters what we users on here think, but maybe some of us can look at it to see if there's anything that sets off a red flag.

I definitely have. You can download it from chrome extension store. I hope I can share my link here.. https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/ัะพัะบะฒะฐััะฐะป/dbpcdcmbodpopogggpnkhfcoaaglbbcf

@roskvartal I looked at it. I don't know Russian very well, but translated the description to see what the extension is for. I see it just adds some quick ways to access some of the services on https://roskvartal.ru/. I don't know anything about the site though.
I looked at the contents of the extension. I don't see anything shady in the scripts or anything like that. I see it adds a search to Google and Yandex as an option, but that sounds okay.
The only question I personally would have is why the use of the hot-reload script to monitor changes to the extensions directory and then reload pages? Is that just for development purposes? Is that needed for a regular user? Is it only active when the extension is loaded in develop mode (I think maybe that's the case)? It doesn't sound malicious. Just wondering.
I don't see any reviews on the Chome webstore extension link and it only looks like there are a few users. But, don't see any red flags anywhere.
In short, I don't see any barriers that would cause trouble with getting your extension approved.
