On Google Developer dashboard for chrome extensions, there used to be a checkbox to enable "gradual release" when editing an extension. You could then pick a number (for example: 5%) and this enabled you as an extension developer to first push a new version only to a select amount of users in order to "feel the pulse" before publishing the extension to everyone.
I have just notices that this feature no longer exists in developer dashboard. Did Google decide to cancel it or something like that, or am I missing it somehow? Anyone knows why they took it out?
I'm on the Chrome team and have been informed that your extension needs to have more than 10K users for this feature to be made available.
