Google Chrome Extensions Manager

google chrome browserThere is currently no build in extensions manager in the Google Chrome web browser which makes it quite time consuming to manage and work with extensions. Users who want to enable extensions have to do so by launching the Google browser with a command line parameter. This will change once the extension engine has been finalized by the Google developers.

The Google Chrome Extensions Manager is a batch script that allows the Chrome user to work with extensions in the Internet browser more effectively. It can be used to quickly enable or disable extensions, create new extensions and to run Google Chrome with or without extension and user scripts support by default which means that no command line parameter needs to be added afterwards.

The batch script will automatically recognize all installed extensions giving the user the option to disable or enable them whenever it is needed. The script can be placed anywhere on the computer system, it does not have to reside in the same folder as the Google Chrome executable.

Users who download the Google browser extensions manager need to remove the .txt part of the filename to make it executable. Once that is done the script can be launched by double-clicking on it. The Chrome Extension Manager is available (via Techie Buzz) at the Chrome Plugins website.

    What’s the point in this?!! Just use Firefox! I can’t believe 2 things:
    1. The reason someone would code this application
    2. Anyone using this type of (archaic) program

      Usually its the worlds losers and bigots who “cant understand” why someone would prefer something else.
      get over it firefox is a relative new boy on the web browser block and copied many features lets say from opera which alot of serious web researchers would use ove ie ( note no firefox then). However just because firefox is about doesnt mean everyone is going use it or even love it. Get over yourself. Many given the educated choice ( not just the ones that use the default browser supplied with the os) don’t want to use firefox – they find it oversized or bloated or what ever other reason there is not to like it. again get over it.
