Marked as Malware by Chrome?
See original GitHub issueHello, multiple people I work with have informed me Chrome marked Auto Text Expander as malware and automatically disabled it in their browsers.
However, the extension is still up in the Chrome web store. The extension ID of the extension marked as malware is iibninhmiggehlcdolcilmhacighjamp
.
Screenshot is of extension’s settings page in chrome.
Any idea what’s going on? I find it odd that the browser is marking it as malware, but the web store page is still up.
