Google Chrome for Mac (finally) gets Extension support

Just because extensions haven't been enabled by default doesn't mean they weren't working… They've worked in Chromium for the Mac for a long time now, simply by setting the '--enable-extensions' (and optionally '--enable-userscripts') flags at startup. Really no giant new step here… Extensions have been working reliably for me for quite some time.

It seems to be caused by a font conflict when upgrading to Snow Leopard.

The fix is going into Font Book, looking for conflicting fonts (they have a yellow alert triangle), and deleting or disabling the conflicting copy.

It does seem like Chrome is really taking its time to get up and running properly on Mac.

One LAST comment, i now know why i got it wrong.

Adblock + really doesn't show the "add to chrome" button, all other extensions i wanted do it.

Can someone tell me why?

Sorry, it worked now, i didn't recognize the small image on the bottom that asked to download, i'm used to see a big external popup in the middle of the screen instead of this small sentence.

And the "developer blabla" is written there always (omg so late, my english sucks).

Thnx for telling anyway, now safari is my 2nd class browser :D

I have 4.0.288.1 dev.

Do i need a workaround that you didn't describe? The google extensions page doesn't let me install but tells me i need chrome 4.0 or higher (or something like that):

Extensions also don't work for me here, used the link in the comments for the latest developer version. What could be the cause?

Like Ben and Sean in the comments at the moment I use and recommend using Chromium, which has proven no less stable than Chrome's dev channel (while also being much more advanced).

nda

Brett,

Duh! Thanks, that was it! I thought about a theme causing the issue before but I didn't think that was the problem because the build I had installed didn't suffer from it. I reset to default theme and now I am using the latest build. Thanks again!

Like Ben, I use Chromium and have been loving it. If you think the dev channel builds are cutting edge, the hourly/daily updates to Chromium will make your early adopter heart flutter.

Here is the official source for mac builds, make sure you scroll to the bottom of the page for the lastest release...

One thing that annoys me though is that starting with build 34474 they made the title bar blue instead of mac-like gray. Anyone know how to change it back in the newest builds??
