How to silent Install chrome extension on Windows 10 Technical Preview without using a developer version of chrome.
Google Chrome (unfortunately) no longer allows private or local crx files to be installed as extensions. You must host it on the Google Chrome app store. From within the store you can make it private to a specific domain, or limit the app to only those within a Google group (they must use their Google account for access to the install).
Deployment of plugins that work within our intranet has suddenly become a major pain. I'm really surprised they couldn't come up with a better solution for this.
