Enabling Extensions/Plugins

Once you have installed Google Chrome you will currently need to switch over to using the Developer Channel. This channel gives you more periodic updates and allows you to use the Extensions/Plugin that you will be developing.

You will need to first download the Channel Switcher from here. Once you have done so please run the switcher and choose the development channel.

Once you have updated Google Chromes channel you will need to update Google Chrome itself by going to the "About" dialog box.

Finally, the last step you will need to change the Chrome shortcut to enable the extensions themselfs. This is very easy.

Right click on the shortcut and choose "Properties". On the "Shortcut" tab add the following to the "Target" text field. --enable-extensions

Thus your full "Target" will look something like this: "C:\Documents and Settings\username\Local Settings\Application Data\Google\Chrome\Application\chrome.exe" --enable-extensions

Once you have done this you will be able to install and start using extensions.
