I have few locally build extensions which I want to be force installed in my browser. So they should not have option to disable them.
Is it possible to get it without Google Admin. Locally or somewhere. Possibly I should use Chromium or even Brave browser.
I tried edit ~/Library/Preferences/com.google.Chrome.plist but it does not install extensions even from store.

I've been trying to generate a custom client certificate on Chrome OS for things like VPN.
No matter what I do, I keep getting that chrome.enterprise.platformKeys is undefined.
I've been creating test extensions in Developer mode on my managed Chrome OS machine. I see on the documentation page here it says:
Note: This API is only for extensions pre-installed by policy.
How can I properly use this API, if I want to test apps in Developer mode?
I made a chrome extension and want its installation to be done as a part of software installation setup using windows registry. It installs the extension for chrome, but in disabled state. Extension is listed in the list of installed extension in chrome://extensions. How can I enable the extension using code(without end-user intervention). I don't want my user to enable it manually.
You can't directly enable chrome extension because of chrome security police(After Chrome 25).
Extensions installed by third party programs using external extension deployment options will be disabled by default. When a third party program installs an extension, the Chrome menu will be badged, and users can click through the Chrome menu to see a dialog containing an option to enable the extension or to remove it from their computer.
In addition, all extensions previously installed using external deployment options will be automatically disabled. Chrome will show a one-time prompt to allow the re-enabling of any of the extensions.
But you can use inline installation but you need to upload your extension in Chrome Web Store and ask to user directly like this.

As I know you can install an extension outside the market without expected limitations, for example, autoupdate. You need to be in develop mode.
You can read this thread to understand the problem:
Install chrome extension as external extensions
The think is, anyone know another way to install an extension in your chrome (internal use in a company o class). I like to think that I can sign the extension with a shared certificate or something like that. And send the extension to the users.
Google no longer allows it.

There are 4 types of extension install still available:
Direct installation from Webstore or inline install from a website, but hosted on Web Store.
Indirect installation through registry manipulation (e.g. companion extension for a native app), but it still must be hosted in the Webstore.
Local development installs; will nag on every Chrome restart and no autoupdate mechanism.
For Enterprise only, policy-based installs. Note that on Windows that requires computers joined to a domain. In this case there are no restrictions on where the extension is hosted.
I have a problem getting a chrome extension to work on Windows 10 Technical Preview. I have this extension hosted in Chrome Web store. However when my i run the .exe on my pc, which is supposed to install a client on the pc and an extension on chrome, i cannot see the extension in the chrome extensions.
But when i use the developer version of chrome, i can see the browser prompting me to accept/disable the extension.
What am i missing here? I am pretty new to chrome plugins. Any suggestion/help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks
Google Chrome (unfortunately) no longer allows private or local crx files to be installed as extensions. You must host it on the Google Chrome app store. From within the store you can make it private to a specific domain, or limit the app to only those within a Google group (they must use their Google account for access to the install).
Deployment of plugins that work within our intranet has suddenly become a major pain. I'm really surprised they couldn't come up with a better solution for this.

I am using Chrome 25.0.1364.152 m and I develop a Chrome Extension. I wanna install it as an external extension and I succeed. The only problem is that I must enable this extension manually. That means I have to enable it every user profile. (I have lots of Chrome user profile on my machine) Is there any way to do this enable work automatically(via preference or something)?
