I made a Chrome extension that tracks user web time and classifies it. Nothing new, I saw at least 15 extensions that do the same.

The thing is, that some computers are not tracking the user activity and show nothing. While in some like mine, it works perfectly fine.

All that tracking logic is placed in the background file. while the rest of logic in the popup works fine.

I saw that a friend's computer gives the warning:

"This extension is not trusted by Enhanced Safe Browsing"
And the other extensions that do the same work fine on their computers. Is there something else I should add or modify in the developer dashboard?

In privacy data usage I checked the "Web History" and explained in detail what the extension does. Is all saved locally and don't recollect any information outside the extension.

I made it using svelte with "sveltekit-adapter-chrome-extension" adapter.

Hello!
That message is not an indication of anything being blocked. It is a warning that is given to users if we are not able to confirm that an extension fully follows our best practices. Sometimes this is just related to how mew the developer's account is, othertimes there are more issues at play. You can contact One Stop Support (https://support.google.com/chrome_webstore/contact/one_stop_support) to find out more information about why an extension you own is being marked as such.
