Congrats, you sewed enough paranoia that you got the submission taken down just suspicion alone. Strange though, on a community of developers, no one is able to show specifically how/and where it malicious. The extension contains no active network communications, no runtime use of webRequest or declarativeNetRequest, no dynamic code loading, and no modifications to HTTP response headers or CSP directives. References to the domain sdmextension.com[now removed anyway] exist solely as unused string constants, entirely inert and functionally irrelevant. The extension’s declared purpose is consistent with its implementation. Accordingly, any assertion that this extension constitutes or facilitates malicious activity is currently unsupported by any evidence.

    I appreciate you feel attacked but the content of the repositories are suspicious. Zip files, executables missing source, readmes that are clearly incorrect (eg giving Windows install instructions for a macOS binary) and this particularly plugin is minified. I could tell that this was due to lack of experience because there were other obvious mistakes you’d made which were harmless. What you need to appreciate is that you’re asking people to install untrusted software on their computers. So while you might feel attacked, the burden of proof is actually with you to demonstrate that you are trustworthy. And that means eating some humble pie here. Learning from the feedback you’re receiving and grow from it. Rather than demanding that the community fix your shortcomings. We don’t owe you our time any more than we owe you our devices to beta test your software projects.

      Thanks for your feedback. The source code for my windows binary projects(and visual studio .SLN files too) are available for all my projects if you care to look close enough. The .exe are prepared for convenience and is fully reproducible. I am correcting that typo in that macos utility(I admittedly wasn’t ready to launch that one for public release or announcement, fixing now). I maintain that all my extensions are 100% legitimate and will improve the code clarity on my next releases.
