I already know how to enable extensions in Chrome on Windows (by adding the --enable-extensions command line parameter).
My question is how to do this on a Mac? Are Chrome extensions even supported at this point on the Mac? If so, how can I go about adding this command-line parameter, without having to launch Chrome from the Terminal every time?

Extensions are now enabled in the Chrome Developer Channel for the Mac.

So, extensions aren't supported in the Google Chrome app for Mac, but the latest Chromium build supports extensions.
You can get chromium at http://www.chromium.org/

Try this: http://grack.com/blog/2009/12/08/re-enable-install-button-for-mac-chrome-extensions/ I tried here and it worked.

Open the terminal and type:
open /Applications/Google\ Chrome.app --args --enable-easy-off-store-extension-install
now you are allowed to install extensions (crx files) that are not in the Chrome Web Store during this session of Chrome.

That's what I was suspecting, but thanks for the confirmation. – Brandon Wood – 2009-08-21T14:58:19.250
