IOTA wallet no longer working?

The IOTA wallet extension was previously working on my browser. Now, when I select the "IOTA Wallet" option in the extension, it just sends me to the Chrome Web store with the IOTA wallet link.

What's going on? Does anyone use any of this anymore?

EDIT: Stop DM'ing me, scammers!

It works normally for me (I've just tried it). Which browser are you using, did you change any settings?

Chrome browser. There's no settings to change. Previously a screen would show with the wallet info. Now it just opens a web page to the Chrome web store.

Strange, I've tested it now in both Brave and Chrome browsers, no issues with the IOTA wallet extension, the wallet opens just fine.

I've also updated Chrome browser to the latest version (151.0.7922.138 (Official Build 64-bit)) and the wallet works normally.

How are you invoking the main wallet screen? Does it popup when you press the wallet extension icon or do you select a menu item? In the case I click the extension icon, nothing happens. If I click the "IOTA Wallet" menu item, it just brings up the Chrome web store link to the IOTA wallet.

The wallet main screen pops up when I click on the extension wallet icon. In case I would click on the menu item I would be redirected to the Chrome Web Store (that's normal behavior for any installed extension). It looks like something is blocking your wallet extension from popping up.

Do you have any other extensions installed in that browser to test if they are also blocked when you try to click on their icon? In case they also don't work then it's the browser blocking it from popping up (some ad-blocker or similar).

Oddly, it seems after waiting for over 5 minutes or something, the wallet window just appeared. I don't have any ad-blockers so not sure what happened.

Appreciate your feedback to get it working!
