Originally created by @1stone on GitHub (Apr 2, 2018).
Original GitHub issue: https://github.com/floccusaddon/floccus/issues/68

Software versions

Browser: Chrome Version 65.0.3325.181 (Official Build) (64-bit)
Nextcloud: 13.0.0
Nextcloud Bookmarks app: 0.11.0
Floccus: 2.0.3

Steps to reproduce

Downloaded latest (2.0.3) floccus.crx file.
Unpacked CRX file with 7z in a newly created directory.
Installed extension in Chrome via "load unpacked" from that directory. (AFAIK the only method to enable a manually installed extension, that is not listed in Google's store)
Clicked "Extension options" within extension details of floccus, to add account.

Expected outcome

I expected to see a configure dialog (similar to the firefox extension), that would allow to add an nextcloud account.

Actual outcome

A rather small popup appears with "(floccus logo) Floccus (nextcloud Sync)", but containing nothing more than a close button (X).
The extension afterwards shows an error link in the extension overview page, that shows the following error message: Unrecognized manifest key 'applications'.

Ah, thanks for the quick feedback! You should be able to install it by simply dropping the .crx into the extensions page. Still, the behaviour you described is a bug. I've just pushed a new patch release that fixes it. :)

Thanks for providing a patch so fast.

Dropping the .crx into the extensions page will install the extension disabled, since it is not listed in the Google store. So far I found no way to enable it with recent Chrome versions afterwards.

Other posts indicate, that such extensions can now only be installed via "load unpacked".
If that is invalid information, I would be interested to hear about a way to enable "dropped" extensions.

Mh. I'm running Chrome Version 65.0.3325.181 (Official Build) (64-bit)
It might work on my machine because of some kind of option, perhaps? I'll investigate.

Apparently "Extensions hosted outside of the Chrome Web Store can only be installed by Linux users." This is not a problem, though, since you can now get the latest floccus version in the webstore :)
