The most popular Chrome extension category is Productivity - which has 28.78% of all Chrome extensions. Most of the top extensions belong to the Productivity category. 48,328 extensions are "Productivity" extensions.
Screenshots on the details page for a given extension are now served at significantly higher quality.

One feature that may already be accounted for that I've wanted for a long time is a way to deep link into the "write a review" feature. A common practice we have is steering users to the CWS to write a review for the extension when they get to a part of the extension experience where we think they're excited about the product (for us, that's when they complete a shopping trip with cashback and coupon savings, we like to hit them up and ask for a rating if they haven't given us one yet).

The new store doesn't show the replies to each review.
How to sort reviews by language?
It would be great if you could link directly to reviews using a URL like https://chromewebstore.google.com/detail/<name>/<ID>/reviews#write or even a dedicated URL.
I'm also very excited to see the self nomination form. One of the most common questions I get when talking to developers is about merchandising opportunities or ways to get their extension promoted in the store. I'm elated that we now have something more concrete that we can use to try to get the CWS team's attention and consideration.
How to sort reviews by language?
At the moment, we show reviews filtered based on your current language. If you'd like to see reviews from other languages, you can change your overall language in the store. Again, definitely interested if there's any feedback on this.

I confirmed with the team that we are still showing replies to reviews, but only from the developer.

Where? I can't find the place to change language on the new UI.

And to quickly follow-up - here are a few things which I suspect will be particularly interesting for everyone here on the mailing list:Let us know what you think. We're really excited to be sharing this.
- Screenshots on the details page for a given extension are now served at significantly higher quality. Thanks for the feedback on this.
- Replies to questions on the support tab now show newlines.
- When replying to a user, your response will now include a “Developer” badge beside your name.

Can we receive an email when people post their questions/queries?
The ranking of extensions in the collection seems to be by the total number of Installations
The "See all Reviews" button is not visible upfront which is a major decision factor when installing the extension.
The ability to submit reviews directly from within the extension UI would be super helpful just like it happens in the Play Store.
Can we add a sub-category "Open-Source" inside the Developer Tooling category?
I agree with @Brian. While testing the new design, I was also surprised that it was practically devoid of adaptability. The minimum layout width is 1250px. This seems to be a real UX problem. Of course, we shouldn’t fight for 320px width, but at least 900px, or better yet, 640px.
I don’t understand why users lost access to changing language and location. Did research really show that no one used it? If so, good. But this will definitely make life more difficult for the developers who were involved in ASO.
I don't understand how to view and respond to reviews in other languages.
Interested to know when this design is planned to be launched as the main one?
Will everyone who filled out the form to be included in the Editor Choice collection receive a response?
What about the mobile version? At least the product page. It used to exist, and we had at least some chance of installations from mobile traffic. And now? I tried to load the mobile version of the product page and just got a redirect to https://chrome.google.com/webstore/unsupported

Also, I have a question about the CWS analytics dashboard. Are there any plans to develop its functionality?
Since the new version of the app store is now officially launched, I need to repeat this basic function I mentioned before.Developers must see all languages' reviews, otherwise we can't reply to all-languages users' reviews.BTW: ULR + "?hl=locale-Code" is not a bad solution.On Thu, Aug 31, 2023 at 8:16 PM Jackie Han <[email protected]> wrote:How to sort reviews by language?At the moment, we show reviews filtered based on your current language.

Many users understand multiple languages.2. There is no review for the user's language.For example,
- If there are 5 reviews in total, 3 of which are in English, 1 in Spanish, and 1 in Japanese, then Chinese users, French users, and German users cannot see anything.
- Users who use minority languages may not see anything. e.g. Norwegian, Serbian, Hebrew

When I talk to developers about how to promote their extensions, one of the ideas we often discuss is exactly what Ian described here. Right now I feel like there's a lot of unnecessary friction around the flow for submitting an extension review.

I definitely see how that would be useful - I'll pass it on. I don't think anything is set in stone yet given that feature hasn't shipped but it's good to know that it's something like that would be useful.On the webstore URLs - during this preview things are a little different, since we only want people to see the new store once they've opted in. But I expect we will have a full redirect in place by the time this fully launches.As a note to everyone - you can also use the "Give feedback" option in the top right menu to share feedback. That goes directly to the web store team (and they do read them!) so is preferred to some extent, but I also understand if you want to ask questions here.

In the existing CWS we can link to the reviews page but the user has to scroll down and find the write a review button which is asking a lot, especially if there are a lot of reviews to scroll past. Will there be a deep link to open the write a review panel so the user can get right to that without having to search for the button?

We’re excited to share that over the next few weeks, we’ll be slowly encouraging users to try an early preview of the new Chrome Web Store we teased at Google I/O, through an opt-in banner on the existing site. See the Chrome support forum for our post sharing the details.
As developers, we know that you’re likely to want to see how your item looks ahead of time, which you can do by navigating to the new store directly: https://chromewebstore.google.com/.
One thing we’ve heard is that you’d love more opportunities to see your extensions featured on the store. Based on that, we’re opening a self-nomination form for the next few weeks. We’re hoping to pick a few extensions from this which we’ll add to the Editors’ Picks collection.
Submit your extension here: https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSf4goBOeJDSVwp7xGCZw5vORovPOBhCv_kWM-VXWDhSA0NUQg/viewform?usp=published_options
As part of this rollout, we’re also updating the categories available in the Chrome Web Store. Look out for an email with more details.
Thanks,
Oliver on behalf of Chrome Extensions DevRel

Is anyone else disappointed in the placement of the "Support" button on the Chrome Web Store redesign? It is way down at the bottom. So if an otherwise happy user has a question, they can't find the "Support" button so they write a review instead and put a 1 star rating to get attention. Even after their question is resolved the user never bothers to re-write their review with a better star rating. I think the "Support" button should be near the top like it used to be before the redesign.
