According to http://developer.chrome.com/extensions/external_extensions.html bug 41902 will prevent extensions installed via the external_extensions.json file to function after Chrome version upgrade.

1. The same page says that the external_extensions.json mechanism has been deprecated in favour of individual JSON files per extension. It seems that the individual files are still stored under versioned Chrome directories. Am I correct to conclude that a Chrome upgrade will break these extensions as in 41902, or are these files being copied?

2. 41902 is still open, is there any information regarding planned resolution? 

Thanks, 

Roman

Roman,


It looks like all non-webstore extensions will be blocked from install completely in the near future.

1. A mesma página diz que o mecanismo external_extensions.json foi preterido em favor de arquivos JSON individuais por extensão. Parece que os arquivos individuais ainda estão armazenados em diretórios versionados Chrome. Estou correto concluir que uma atualização Chrome vai quebrar essas extensões como em 41902, ou são esses arquivos que estão sendo copiados?

2. 41902 ainda está em aberto, não há qualquer informação sobre resolução planejado? 

Obrigado, 

Romano

Good night,

I have a project I want to use translator_tts and am having trouble knowing more information. We will have access to the library for free? if you charge for volume of words translated, as will be accounted for?

FUCK YOU GOOGLE!!!! I will no longer develop for piece of shit Chrome let alone use anything to do with "Google"! I am moving all my usage elsewhere, including everyone I know. And we are not using DuckDuckGo. Look it up as your search engine.
