Why has CodeCopy been removed from Chrome Web Store?

[airglow923]

README.md contains a link to CodeCopy listed on Chrome Web Store, but it redirects to a 404 page.

Apparently, CodeCopy has been automatically disabled on my browser (Edge Chromium) saying that

This extension has been disabled because it's been marked unsafe by the Chrome Web Store.

Does this relate to the removal of CodeCopy from Chrome Web Store?

Wauw! Ok this I didn't know and unfortunately I don't have access to the account.
@zenorocha Did you receive a mail why the extension has been removed and how we can solve this.

The extension on AMO stays: https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/codecopy/

Hello @airglow923 @Glennmen @FranklinYu @zenorocha

I managed to install the codecopy project on chrome, even though it doesn't exist in the chrome extensions anymore.
You can do it manually
I have just tested it and everything works fine.

Here are the steps to follow :

- If you want to have the extension, you just have to clone the project. 
- Clone the project 
- npm install
- npm update
- npm start 
- go to chrome, then go to the extension tab
- load the unpackaged extension
- Go to StackOverflow and look at the top left of the code. 

You can copy some code :)

Have a nice day

[Question] Is the project abandoned or is there not enough time?

@Grezor As already described in the readme ;) https://github.com/zenorocha/codecopy#setup

Project is not abandoned imo, Zeno has very little time (due to other projects) and he is the only one with access.

Dear community, is there any update on this issue?

[Grezor]

@tuliocasagrande the last release was on 19 Jan 2021. I think it's out of date. (I tried on chrome extension to download it => still an error. But you can install it locally, as I wrote the procedure above.
