Applying for Chrome extension Featured Badge, no clear reasons explaining why wasn't my extension selected.

[Toan Nguyen]

Hello
Received a very generic response to my application. It would be helpful if the Chrome review team could provide specific reasons for the rejection. From my perspective, I believe I've prepared my extension with a modern UI, feature-rich functionality, a vibrant tutorial video, and relevant screenshots. I'm a little confused by the outcome.

My extension

Is it possible to appeal the decision? I'm quite confused at the moment. I'm glad for any help or tips!


Dear Publisher,

Thanks for self-nominating your extension to receive the Featured badge. Based on our review, your extension Zen Analytics Pixel Tracker with ID: gknigcbhlammoakmmdddkblknanpjiac does not qualify for the Featured badge or merchandising eligibility because it doesn’t meet our compliance best practices.

I was rejected for the same reason for my autofill job application extensions, and i also posted here a while ago but nobody respond. I was keep sending them message and what they finally told me is that i am asking too much permissions, like host_permissions is "all_urls" while my extension only support several job boards.  However, I believe it is necessary for my extension to use that because my extension needs that to handle job form in iframes, and I already tried lots of alternative solutions but non of them will work. And i am pretty sure all other similar autofill extension have "all_url" too but also obtained the Featured Badge. Even if I explian it to them many times, nobody response, so probably have to give it up. I could simply not support any kinds of iframes platform, but I do not think it is correct approach. Try to remove any kinds of "all_urls" stuff and remove all permissions that is not needed, if not possible then you have to give it up. I believe people in response to self nomination request does not know the technical stuff, and they just follow the rubrics. For example, if they see your extension have "all_urls" then they just simply reject.
