I'm new to submitting Chrome extensions, and my first submission has been stuck in review for over 10 days without any feedback. I've tried reaching out through the support form three times, but I haven't received any responses. I'm wondering if I should pull my extension and resubmit it, or if doing that would just reset the queue and make things worse. I know my extension has a few permissions that might be causing delays, but ten days feels excessive compared to what I've heard—most people usually get feedback within a week. Also, has anyone managed to actually get in touch with a real person at Chrome Web Store support? It feels like I'm just shouting into the void here.

I get how frustrating this is! I published a Chrome extension years ago, and it took over a month for approval back then. I can't say for sure if resubmitting resets your place in the queue, but I'd recommend waiting a little longer before pulling it. Permissions can definitely slow things down, and you might just end up at the back of the line if you resubmit now.
Just a heads up from my experience: my extension review took about two weeks. After approval, I uploaded a couple of updates and they went through in about a week each. So, waiting a bit longer might be worth it!
Yeah, 10 days is annoying for sure, but I'd hold off on resubmitting just yet. Those sensitive permissions you mentioned can really drag out the process. If you pull it now, you likely just end up back at the end of the line. This is why I personally prefer working on projects that don't rely on one platform for approval!
