This has made me very, very irritated. I was quite upset at the initial change to preventing installation of third party extensions via a download, but then I realised it was for the best.

However, to fully remove the ability to install third party extensions is just ludicrous.

I develop a small Chrome application for internal use at my workplace. The staff love it, it helps them do their jobs a lot quicker. I don't see any easy way other than (as mentioned), building Chromium to remove this limit, as has been done before with crx files.

Might just move to Firefox and take my workforce following with me!




Private extensions are possible via the Chrome Web Store. You can make it available to anyone with the link, or a list of "trusted testers".


The original article says they will continue to support "installs via Enterprise policy", whatever that means exactly.
