      @tprockow That's very good to know.

      I went ahead and tried going through the upload process but always got into the queue. I went as far as deleting my extension entry and trying with a new one (since it was never published in the first place, anyway).

      An annoyance: the displayed warnings are really off the mark and can easily be bypassed.

      • As in, just because I have an svg in my extension, it complained about http://www.w3.org/2000/svg not being in the manifest.

      • Because I'm using Rollup as a bundler and support other browsers, I don't have chrome.notifications directly in the bundle — it shows up as const t = (chrome || browser); t.notifications.create(...), so Opera complains that I'm not using any of the requested permissions. Adding a chrome.notifications.get || chrome.storage.local.get; anywhere is enough to suppress it.

      • I had https://*.domain.com/, so it complained that https://specific.domain.com/ wasn't in the manifest.

      • I added https://specific.domain.com/, so it complained that https://specific.domain.com wasn't in the manifest (and this url was never hit anyway! it was just in the code to create links!).

      I'm really only going through these because some users have been dying to have my extension on Opera, but, as a completely free extension with zero upsides for me, there's just no justification for trying to get into this browser if this process isn't improved.

        @tprockow Is there an ETA you can share on the automatic moderation process?

        ps: Waiting for an extension to be published for 3+ weeks.

              This is a joke. Since 1 year ago all extensions are stopped in Opera.
              Neither updates or new extensions.
              It's impossible to work to Opera this way...
              I have extensions with over 1 year of waiting. Will the users wait that amount of time for an update? No, they will just switch to Chrome or Firefox where the approval is in 1 hour.
              This way I must conclude that Opera is close to decease...
              Please do something 😉

              Greetings.

                Same problem, the latest version of my extension - 2.6 - (https://addons.opera.com/fr/extensions/details/page-shadow/) is awaiting moderation since the 31 october of 2018. The previous versions I have sent (2.3, 2.4 and 2.5) haven't been published (I sent the 2.3 version on 1 december of 2017 !).

                Please do something !

                    Why not close opera add-ons and just allow users to install Chrome extensions by default, same as Vivaldi does? This is not respectful both towards creators and users. Lack of comments and replies to this topic by Opera representing people is not acceptable.

                            I don't think ranting here will improve the situation. As you can see, tprockow wrote a couple of posts back Opera are working on auto moderation, which indicates they are aware of the problem.

                                  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
