Google blocks local Chrome extensions - Polidicks

[QUOTE=Crimor;45084322]Let's ban cars because someone might run people over with one.[/QUOTE] Cars and licenses are regulated (like the web store), precisely to avoid people getting hurt. Also this whole thing can be worked around by getting the dev version so it's really a non-issue.

There should be a simple option to allow for third-party extensions and, at most, a short waiver you have to agree to in order to allow it.

This is great news for my mum, she's always had trouble with malware extensions on Chrome and now I won't have to go uninstall them for her every few days (Because she keeps forgetting how to do it even though I show her every time).

My point was that comparing it to outright banning cars because someone might hit pedestrians is a ridiculous comparison. (And also that it's not the end of the world and it can still be worked around [I]fairly[/I] easily. Sure it might be possible to do it in a better way, but a lot of people are overreacting like crazy).

No more Youtube center :( Unacceptable

This should really be an option tbh, have it ticked by default but allow the user to choose

As a firefox fan, I say good.

[QUOTE=spectator1;45092729]As a firefox fan, I say good.[/QUOTE] You're an asshat for being happy at the inconvenience of others.

Installing the dev version of Chrome cured this issue for me. Course I shouldn't have to do that.

[QUOTE=itisjuly;45096859]You shouldn't be though. Fandom usually leads to worse product compared to healthy competition.[/QUOTE] Why would liking one browser and disliking another browser lead to a worse product? Be reasonable.

Good thing on Windows I use a browser that cares about its power users. [img]http://a.pomf.se/zvlfkr.png[/img] [editline]13th June 2014[/editline] A drop-in replacement for Firefox, coming out of beta soonish

[QUOTE=SuperDuperScoot;45080147]How about they just add a setting to disable it that's checked by default in a mildly obscure settings page so idiots who don't know how to computer can't find it but anyone who knows the difference between Mac&Cheese and McAffe can disable it[/QUOTE] [QUOTE=Quark:;45089334]It's completely silly to have to install the developer's version just to install custom extensions.

The thing is, we really shouldn't have to do that. It's quite a few unnecessary steps, and every time you start Chrome you get an annoying notification about it. A single setting, no unpacking things, and no shitty warnings that makes me think Google thinks [I]everyone[/I] is an idiot should be how it is.
