Per https://github.com/jdm-contrib/justdelete.me-chrome-extension, the Chrome extension is no longer maintained. I can't say I recall offhand why that is--whether there were technical changes which we don't have bandwidth to support, or for other reasons.

Thanks for reply

Oh, that's a shame

I see last repo' commit was in 2018 - I'm only 5 years late to notice!

I think it was a combined lack of interest from the community and lack of time from us maintainers

I'm gonna re-open this issue, as we shouldn't be linking to a dead Chrome web store link on the site.

"This extension violates the Chrome Web Store policy"

This is likely because the extension wasn't updated in 5 years and the rules changed in the meanwhile (e.g. it became required to provide a privacy policy and describe the need for each permission)

Judging by the code, I can probably rewrite a modern version of it and publish it in an hour, if there's any interest in keeping an official link to it.

If the effort is minimal then seems a shame not to have browser parity 🤷 CC @fregante

I'd happily take a PR to bring it to modern era

More than a PR, I was thinking of a new extension/repo that I can maintain personally. I'm not particularly into rewriting projects and then hoping that they won't end up unmaintained again (happened several times before) 😅 especially because, like in this case, the web store requires direct access and changes.

@fregante Shouldn't be an issue to do it your way, we'll just put your repo into the organization when it's ready.
You'll still have full ownership over the repo.

I submitted a version to the CWS, I'll let you know when they approve it ☺️

The extension has "no permissions" and only runs javascript once a day. The update of the toolbar icon is handled by the browser itself, without custom listeners, via declarativeContent. The API is a bit limited but it serves its basic purpose.

I opted to point the user to JustDeleteMe.xyz/#current.site.com on click so that further instructions can be followed there. There's an issue with the filtering there though, because these two searches are empty:

• https://justdeleteme.xyz/#www.youtube.com
• https://justdeleteme.xyz/#youtube.com

while this works:

• https://justdeleteme.xyz/#youtube

It'd be great to use the domains array on the website’s search as well in order to find them easily, not just by name.

Yes! I mentioned a PR because we could reuse the repo that already exists, but you could have one commit deleting everything and another adding your version of the extension

The extension has been available on the store for 2 days, I didn't even notice 😅
