Chronos being taken down from chrome webstore by Google
Since few weeks, Chronos has been taken down from the web store of Google Chrome.
It started with release 0.7.2 because of the shortcut. #8384 (closed) was fixed for 0.7.3 but they did not accepted to publish it. Each time review was requested and few days later the extension was taken down without notification.
Yesterday after a nth try to publish it. I received this email from Google:

I replied to the email as suggested even if the address was chromewebstore-noreply@google.com. In the reply, I asked what was the policies that Chronos does no respect.
So here is the all story for now. I'm waiting for a reply from Google.
