How do you iterate quickly without review?

Hi everybody. It seems to me that Google is currently extremely developer hostile, as I can't find any way to update an browser extension for a subset of users without each update having to go through a review which could take anything from hours to weeks. Obviously this is unacceptably slow and high-stakes when developing new software these days.

How are you guys handling this? Is there any way around users having to download/unzip and manually updating the extension in the extension dashboard?

    To overcome the slow review process you can use remote code so you can publish changes instantly however it is not recommended. Google Store gives you the option to deploy new version of an extension to a subset when the number of users reach over 10K I think
