Hello Google Community,

Our extension with ID: gcmodjdigfgdkpelopekhcicmielbkbi and named "Adblocker Plus for Youtube™," is facing a recurring suspension issue. Previously, our extension and account were mistakenly suspended, and despite the Webstore team's review and subsequent reinstatement, the problem has resurfaced.

We want to emphasize that our extension complies with all policies, and it is both safe and genuine. We kindly request the prompt reinstatement of our extension and account.
We have not received any response for over two months, and this prolonged delay is affecting our ability to provide our users with a seamless experience.

Attaching proof:

Hi Shubham,
Unfortunately, there is nothing this mailing list can do to help. You will need to continue to speak with One Stop Support.

Hi Shubham Kumar,

When I observe the Chrome extension's name, it appears very similar to "Adblock Plus". There is a likelihood of it infringing on the trademark of Adblock Plus (registered in Europe and the United States of America). Therefore, it is advisable to avoid using names that are registered trademarks for which you have no rights.

Additionally, here's another tip: the Chrome Web Store already hosts numerous ad blockers. Therefore, strive to develop something unique and valuable for Chrome users. Read sure this Chrome Web Store Principles page:
Thanks,
Stefan vd

We don't have any trademark issues; we are not using Adblock Plus; we are using Adblocker Plus, and we haven't received any trademark violations. Even the Google Web Store team has already reviewed and approved it. However, they have now suspended our account, taken down the extension, and marked it as malware without any reason, which is totally unfair.

Can anyone help us? We are not receiving any response from the webstore team.
