Wasn't this already largely the case? You have to manually download extensions and then drag them into the extensions manager to install them outside the store right now, don't you?
The only change here seems to be that now you need a checked "Developer mode" box in order for that to work. I guess that discourages randomly checking the box, but if they had just labelled it "Allow third party extensions" it would make the change seem less overbearing.
- Oletros 13y agoDeveloper mode only allows installing unpacked extensions, no?
- recuter 13y agoNo. If that's the case I think that's new.
- hayksaakian 13y agothis was the case at least a year ago when I was making a chrome app/extension
- throwaway2048 13y agothe most obnoxious part about this is extensions will not update automatically or otherwise. you are forced unpack and drag in the extension for every change.
