Google is trying to impose on us their views on what extensions you can use, and which can not. But we know a way around these restrictions.
A few days ago, finally came into force Google ban on the installation of third-party extensions to bypass the Chrome Web Store store. Moreover, if you already have an extension, then Google can forcibly disable it. It dictated it is, above all, concern for the safety of users, who will now receive only proven and approved to expand the spread.
Thus, if your browser is not set extension of the Chrome Web Store, then one day you You may receive a message that «unsupported extensions disabled» without any explicit possibility to include it back. But actually not all that bad, and there is a solution.
So what to do if Google is forcibly disabled in your browser one or more extensions? There are several options available.
- Go to the Chrome Developer or Canary. These versions of the Google browser's new rules do not apply. We remind you that this special experimental version of the program in which developers test their new ideas. The same can be said about Chromium.
- Give a chance to Opera browser. It is based on the same engine as the Shrome has similar quality, but its creators do not allow themselves to specify which extensions you bet, and what - no.
- Activate your desired expansion mode for developers. For this to chrome: // extensions and enable the appropriate option in the upper right corner.
You will need to download the appropriate extension again from the developer, and then extract it to your desktop using the archiver such as 7-Zip. After that, go to the browser in developer mode and click "Load unpacked extension". Your desired extension is established, and, Google will no longer make claims about the ambiguity of its origin.
