Alerts/PMs checker chrome extension Apr 15, 2015

GotItBro , Apr 15, 2015 :

Don't you already have a developer account on Play Store.
Do you have to create another account for Chrome.
Oh Google.......

Is it necessary? I mean really, really necessary?

 

awkward_potato , Apr 15, 2015 :

yep

Thanks

 

awkward_potato , Apr 15, 2015 :

this is not for everyone, seriously I just made this for fun

There is a workaround for that

1. Download the crx file and unpack the extension using your favorite decompresser. Take note of the directory where you placed it.
2. Open the extension page, activate "Developer Mode"
3. Click "Load unpacked extension..."
4. Search trough your directory tree for the directory where you unpacked your extension and click OK. If your extension is called "my extension" then select "my extension" directory.

Disadvantages: Chrome nags you to disable the extension each start up.

And Thanks to @awkward_potato for another Awesome piece of work

ok a noob question...the alert doesnt show anything unless u open Forum page?

 

awkward_potato , Apr 15, 2015 :

It shows the number of alerts regardless of where you are, you can alter the checking frequency in the options. (right click icon, press options)

Awesome! Any chance that you would make these extensions for Firefox too?

This potato is not really awkward..

 

GotItBro , Apr 15, 2015 :

What I actually meant was Chrome stops from downloading but thanks for this man it will help me with other extensions.

 

GotItBro , Apr 15, 2015 :

Would be cool if it worked for mobile. I don't think that can happen though.

 

awkward_potato , Apr 15, 2015 :

Yeah it would be cool

 

Formsma , Apr 15, 2015 :

Reus , Apr 15, 2015 :

Yeah I know it's pretty extensive on security it stops from downloading .crx and nags all the time with unverified extension.
