That’s a wrap!
Hope this helps fellow Chrome extension devs looking to get that shiny Featured badge 💎

Within minutes of that email, the Featured badge appeared on the Chrome Web Store listing!

See it here:

🎉 No manual follow-up. Smooth process.

⏱️ Just 2 days later, on July 24, I got the email:
“Self Nomination Request has been created”

That’s when things got exciting.

After submitting, I got a confirmation email from Google.
🗓️ Date: July 22
Subject: “We’ve received your request”

They said they’d get back after a manual review.

Some of the questions you'll be asked:

✅ What's your extension’s purpose?
✅ Main use cases and how users should use it
✅ Does it require access to any external services? (Netflix, banking, etc.)

Form link:
🔗 https://support.google.com/chrome_webstore/contact/one_stop_support

Note: You can self-nominate once every 6 months.

The process starts with a simple support request form.

Go to:
➡️ Chrome Web Store Developer Support
➡️ My Item > I want to nominate my extension

They’ll ask a few questions that you need to answer clearly and briefly.

To get the Featured badge, Chrome extensions must follow a set of best practices and pass a manual review.

I recently migrated to Manifest V3, then submitted a nomination request via the Chrome Web Store team.

My Chrome Extension just got the "Featured" badge!

Here’s exactly what I did to earn it - and how long it took.

👇 A short thread for fellow builders:

Area of a Sector Fast!
To find the area of a sector, use this magic shortcut:
Area = (θ / 360) × π × r² where θ is the central angle!
Try with r = 10, θ = 45°!
#GeometryTricks

Fast Area of a Parallelogram!
For area, just multiply the base × height. But here's the trick:
Area = a × b × sin(θ) where θ is the angle between them! Try for a = 5, b = 6, θ = 60°!

Find the Radius of a Circle from a Chord!
To find the radius of a circle from a chord and its distance from the center:
r = √[(d² + (c/2)²)], where d is the distance from center, and c is the chord length.
Try for c = 8, d = 6!
#GeometryShortcuts

Rectangle Diagonal Trick!
Find the diagonal using:
d = √(L² + B²). But try this shortcut:
d = √(P²/16 - A). Try for A=24, P=20!
#MathHacks

Cone Volume Shortcut!
Volume of a cone:
Volume = 1/3 × π × r² × h. Try r=5, h=10 for quick calculation!
#GeometryHacks

Circumcenter Trick!
Find the circumcenter by drawing perpendicular bisectors of any two triangle sides. Where they meet is the center!
#GeometryTricks

Regular Polygon Area!
For a polygon with n sides and side length s, use:
Area = (n × s²) / (4 × tan(π/n)). Try with n=5, s=6!

Golden Ratio Trick!
The Golden Ratio is ≈ 1.618. Use it for proportions! Example: if a=1, b=1.618.

Area of a Sector Fast!
To find the area of a sector, use this magic shortcut:
Area = (θ / 360) × π × r² where θ is the central angle!
Try with r = 10, θ = 45°!
#GeometryTricks

Chord Length Trick!
Find the length of a chord using Pythagoras:
Chord = 2 × √(r² - d²). Try for r=10, d=6.
#GeometryShortcuts

Heron's Formula Magic!
Find the area of a triangle using sides a, b, c:
Area = √[s(s-a)(s-b)(s-c)], where s = (a+b+c)/2. Try for a=5, b=6, c=7!
