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 !

What about moderation guys? Added more extension Dec 3, 2018. Nothing happens

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

@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?
