Copying this over from #851692. A method of enabling extensions without re-compiling Chromium. Not saying it is ideal
1. Find your extensions: They are in $XDG_CONFIG_DIR/chromium/<profile>/Extensions/<hash>/<version> For example, uBlock is at /home/alok/.config/chromium/Default/Extensions/cjpalhdlnbpafiamejdnhcphjbkeiagm/1.9.4_0 2. Create a file in /etc/chromium.d/enable-extensions with the content export CHROMIUM_FLAGS="$CHROMIUM_FLAGS --load-extension=<extension-path from above>" 3. You have to create multiple lines of the form above for each profile. Note that you will have to update this file when the extension version changes. If you have the same extension in multiple profiles, you will have make explicit entries for it as per step 2. -- — Alok
