Hi,
It does not looks like the bug is fixed in Chromium 57.0.2987.98 built on
Debian 9.0, running on Debian 9.0, from stretch.

down the solution
To use, for example, uBlock Origin in Chromium 55.0.2883.75-4, a user
has to either launch chromium from the command line:
chromium --enable-remote-extensions

There is currently a patch applied, disable/extension-updater.patch,
to address some of the concern about unrequested network connections.
The right approach here is to create debian packages for extensions
(for example chromium-lwn4chrome), rather than fetching them from
third party sites.

Debian's Chromium package doesn't seem to be able to update the installed
