Good news for “Chromers”. As from yesterday all builds in Google Chrome development channel will have extension support enabled by default, so the rather boring –enable-extensions switch goes on retirement. What does this mean, it means when installing Chrome extensions like Xmarks on Chrome dev channel, you don’t need to tweak your Chrome shortcuts in order to get an extension on and working — at-least on Windows, because reports say default –enable-extensions seems to be working only on the Windows build but not yet on Mac and Linux builds
