Main note being it brings true, native 64bit Chrome goodness to Linux! PLus the few missing pieces of UI in the Linux version - language chooser, application shortcuts etc.

Thanks D0od!

If anyone can lead me to the standalone installer (it's not yet on softpedia), then that would be sweeet.

Chrome crashed after the update and all the extensions went for a holiday :-)

will try to re-install all the extensions


EDIT

all of a sudden, the extensions cut short their holidays and now they are back

I wonder what happened ?

After installing the Chrome update, close and open Chrome twice

<msg>Enable extensions by default.
BUG=20573
TEST=Install sample extensions without modifying command line flags. They should install (and run on next startup).

Now we got local storage and extensions enabled by default on chromium .. looks like we'r soon ready ro rock and roll

Hi Benni, I just tried, and "enable extensions by default" is not a feature of 4.0.203.2.

Heh, you stand correctly, their' laying .oO .. probatly been reverted .. hope to see it soon (again?)

The inspector is broken... D:

Inspector working again - AND now I can confirm that extension system is enabled by default .. I do not have to set any parametres :d

Well I hope this is them saying they accept what they have as secure and working, and won't be changing what's already there anymore.
EDIT: Wait what. There hasn't even been an update..?

Thanks for the info.

I think it would be useful to all who read these posts if the reader knew if the references were to Google Chrome or Chromium.

For a while I was playing with both and now, just out of curiosity, have reinstalled Chromium. Yes, Chromium 4.0.204.0, the release I installed, does seem to activate extensions if present. (As for User Scripts, I cannot yet say.) Some Chrome extensions work; some - like Bubble Translate, or Sync Bookmarks, may not) and with a little bit of luck a soon-forthcoming "Google Chrome" release will start to handle extensions without the need for command line options.

It is SO NICE not to have to wait 30+ (on a good day) seconds for Firefox to start. ))
