I have been using this extension for almost 10 years. I have marked all assignments in all courses I have taught in those 10 years. Is there any way you can update and follow best practices for Chrome extensions? Compared to all the extensions that follow best practices but *don't work*, this extension *workes great* and deserves to be updated and kept alive. Thanks so much!

Truly love this extension and how it helps me leave feedback and rubric scores for student writing in Drive. It is incredible and amazing for general workflow. Am disappointed that it's not letting me use it anymore because there's a note that says "This extension may soon no longer be supported because it doesn't follow best practices for Chrome extensions." - would love for an update to fix any problem that prevents use.
