Save to Pocket Extension incorrectly identified as malware

user_avatar Justin

Hey there! 

We have received several reports that AdwCleaner are mistakenly identifying the Save to Pocket extension as another extension that is known to be malicious. This extension appears to be using our unique identifier, and therefore users are being told to uninstall the Pocket extension incorrectly. 

Any ideas of how we can remedy this? It's a shame that users are being told to remove Pocket when it's a safe extension.

Thanks!

Hello,

Can you provide me with the extension ID so I can check and remove it from the database.
