Can someone tell me what this changes? You can still run them in developer mode, right? Otherwise we couldn't develop our extensions, right?

- yonran 13y agoI believe local extensions will be disallowed on stable and beta channel on Windows, according to the blog post. I think this means that on the stable channel on Windows, there will no longer be a “Developer mode” in chrome://extensions. This is because Developer mode is simply a registry setting that malware on Windows can modify, so Chrome will no longer trust this setting. To develop extensions on Windows, I think you will have to switch to the dev or canary channel http://www.chromium.org/getting-involved/dev-channel http://www.chromium.org/getting-involved/dev-channel Edit: changed “now” to “will be” for clarity. Thanks Navarr.
- Navarr 13y agoI believe this is misinformation. At the moment, there's a way for software to install Chrome extensions (not developer mode). They're removing this capability. You will probably still be able to run developer mode extensions
