Forecastfox removed from Chrome store?

[Merl]

Hi,

Had to reinstall my chrome browser and realized that now Forecastfox can't be found in Chrome store WTF???

[Coot Master]

yup   -  

404. That’s an error.

The requested URL was not found on this server. That’s all we know.

let me contasct developer

Working all right on Chrome, but his related extention World-wide Radio has been blocked by Chrome and yanked from the store, saying it contained malware. It's not the first time that has happened. I wonder if the problems are relaed?

[Coot Master]

its working    its just saying 404 ...  i did email him

[Max Devlin]

His screengrab extention is also missing. So that's it all his exttentions have been removed. I don't know why, but I'd say the malware flag could be responsible

Any news?

Over a week ago now I noticed that the Forecastfox icon was gone so I checked at chrome://extensions and in red it says: 'This extension may have been corrupted'  And when you click the 'Repair' button nothing happens.  So I thought I'd reinstall it.  But when I go to the Chrome Web Store and search for  Forecastfox  nothing comes up.  It's as if  Forecastfox has been wiped from the Chrome servers.  It's just bizarre.  So should I be shopping for a new weather extension?  Or hoping the Forecastfox will make a comeback?  It sounds like they might have made the power structure at Google upset so...

I'd still works for me. Except world radio which has been blocked this time. Last time it was flagged you could turn it on again. 

As the developer is Ukrainian I'm wondering if someone in Russia has flagged it/them to cause him harm? Because of the war he is hard to contact. Fingers crossed!

Thanks for the info.

Max, if you search for Forecastfox at the Chrome Web Store does it show up?

[Max Devlin]

Thanks for the info Max.  Not sure why it works for some and not others but let's hope your's keeps working because if it hiccups there is no getting it back.  And it's been a month since Coot Master emailed the developer so it is not looking good.   

I did a pretty extensive look at Chrome weather extensions and if you wanted current weather, a forecast and radar all on relatively small window that pops up when you click the icon, it seems like Forecastfox was it.  And more detail was a click away without taking you away from the original small window.  And links to in depth info were there too.  But you know this.  Installing and trying more than a half dozen different extensions recently made me realize how good I had it.
