As on Aug, 2024:

If you visit Need Help at the footer section of your Chrome Webstore Developer Dashboard or Chrome Web Store One Stop Support, after choosing appropiate options from the questionnaire, you will find the exact time estimated by Google to review an extension. To quote

Review of an item may take up to 3 weeks depending on the complexity of the item. If you believe this is not the case with your item or if your item has been in review for more than 3 weeks, please fill out the form below

So 3 weeks it is!!! Else you can lodge a concern there.

Review times vary; some reviews complete in a few hours, others take many days, and in some cases a review can take several weeks

Edit 08.01.2024
It seems that Google has slightly reorganised its portal.

In some instances, a manual review is required, especially when sensitive permissions are requested. For this reason, review times and/or approval times can take longer

So it's weird. The review now take 10 days because they review all versions like its new. So if you make a push and have a small fix it's another 10 days. And sometimes it is more than 10 days.

This means a different strategy towards trying to get your extension deployed. First we are setting up a testing item in the Chrome Store Dev Section so that we can test our extension extensively in Chrome.

Second we are looking at using eval() in order to put our code in a wrapper. We already do this for FF and Safari. The real goal is to move more and more of the processing to the back end so that the need for a deployment becomes rarer.

This sounds like a lot of hoops but if you look at it from Chrome's end and the issues they have had around people doing bad things with extensions this is the price that has to be paid in order to be able to make extensions from their point of view.

Long time no review, many days, few weeks. Our users can't wait. This is reason why we moved almost feature of extension from Chrome Extension to our own app
