My chrome refuses to open the extension. I'm using the dev build. When I click save, it pops up a dialog telling me the computer doesn't know how to open a .crx, and to search the web for a solution. I tried associating .crx with chrome, but that just makes me download another copy of it every time i try to install it. Is there a manual way to install an extension?

Yup. It popped up a dialog asking where I wanted to save a copy. Version number 4.0.213.1

Update: I extracted the .crx with winrar and installed it from "load unpacked extension" in chrome://extensions.

Well, that will work. You can add --load-extension="c:\path\to\extension\dir" to your shortcut path to permanently load it. Wait for the next build of the dev channel and try again with the CRX I suppose.

Windows build?

Win7 Build 7100

Looking good! I really miss the right click page navigation widget thing though.

Ararian,

There for a while I was getting that same issue, you download it and it would immediately pop up a save dialog. I found that clicking save again would pop up the install dialog. Not sure if this is the same issue you are having but I just thought that might help.

I was hoping it was that simple. I just ended up with a bunch of copies, like SALR-extension (1).crx, etc.
