As reported on the pages of XDA Developers google makes great strides as far as the Chrome webshop, the place where it is possible to buy and download extensions for the Chrome browser. The amount of content available is really exorbitant, and even when you consider that Chrome is still the most widely used browser in the world, many users rely on the store to improve their experience.
The company has therefore announced a real new system designed to highlight developers and publishers engaged in improving the store with new content thanks to real new badges. The goal is to enable users, thanks to the relative symbol, to immediately recognize which extensions might be right for them when they continue their search, so that they can rely more on Google’s judgment to choose the content than on quality.
Meanwhile, there will also be a pleasant recognition for publishers and content creators who have decided to invest in the Web Store project and will therefore be able to show off this new badge in the future thanks to their efforts. Below is the translated email that Google sent to the developers from XDA-Developers.
We are pleased to announce two new extension badges that will help us achieve our goals: the Featured badge and the Estabilished Publisher badge. Both will hit stores within a few weeks. Developers who earn these rewards can achieve better rankings in search results, filters and have their extension appear in promotions in and outside the Chrome Web Store.
As explained, the Featured Badge it will be given to extensions that follow best practices and have particularly high standards of user experience and design, with everything manually determined by the Chrome Web Store team. Concerning theEstablished Publisher Badgeinstead, this will automatically come to publishers and developers who have been verified with a positive track record for Google’s services and are acting in accordance with the giant’s policies.
