Chrome with Lastpass and XMarks extensions
I've been holding out lately in using chrome since I pretty much rely on xmarks and lastpass. I've recently found that some beta and dev builds of Chrome support extensions, however I was not able to get those to work. Most of the information out there rely on people doing a registry hack and shortcut hack to get the beta and dev Chromes to use extensions, however none of that worked for me. What did work was utilizing Chromium instead of Chrome, which is the open source version of Chrome. For those interested, here is the simple steps...
- Install Chromium from:
http://build.chromium.org/buildbot/snapshots/
(chromium-rel-xp, scroll down to latest snapshot, run mini_installer.exe) - xmarks bookmark synchronization:
http://beta.xmarks.com/program/chrome - lastpass password synchronization at:
https://lastpass.com/download.php
Hope this helps... folks interested in learning how to write extensions can look here:
