Plugins Button Updated
Plugins Button has been updated to version 6.1
What's New
The plugins menu has been updated to reflect the end of Flash support: the flash related optons has been removed.
In order to keep things simple, we also removed some unrelated options and added new items: keyboard shortcuts and global plugins permissions.
The new menu looks like this:
Since version 6.0 the plugins menu
includes quick and simple extensions manager where you can control your extensions, apps and themes with few clicks. It does the same as the internal chrome://extensions page, but in smaller and more organized interface.
From the new "Extensions" menu you can access all extensions currently installed, get the basic info about them, enable, disable and remove extensions, apps and themes with single click.
On first start the extensions manager will ask for "management" permission: this is needed in order to load and manage extensions and apps. After that (if you grant it the permission to access the extensions) it will provide you with the list of all of them, organized in categories / types: apps, extensions, enabled, disabled etc.
In action, it looks like this:
It is self-evident -- just click the small "check" icon in the right to enable/disable extension or the "trash" icon to remove it from Chrome. Sort extensions with the top-left buttons. Get more info about given app or extension by clicking on it. That's it -- no need to go and search for given extension in the long and boring "chrome://extensions" page (although it is also accessible from the top-right button, if you need it) -- just open the "Plugins" menu and click "Extensions"...
That's all the important info about this version. There are, as always, other small fixes and improvements here and there, but the major new feature is the extensions manager.
Hope you'll like it.
