ExtGuard
Yellow PotassiumFunctionalityHard rejection

Minimum functionality

The extension provides no meaningful utility or only links to external services.

Common reasons Google rejected this

  • 01Submitted package only contains manifest.json with little to no code.
  • 02Functionality is just a link to an external website doing the actual work.
  • 03Template extensions with trivial variations (Daily Quote, Word of Day, etc.).

How to fix it

  • Implement the feature inside the extension itself, not via external redirect.
  • Demonstrate clear utility beyond what a bookmark can do.
