Google Chrome 25 Will Disable Silent Extension Installation

[wraggster]

Google on Friday announced that it is changing its stance for silently installing extensions in its browser (http://thenextweb.com/google/2012/12/21/google-chrome-25-will-disable-silent-extension-installation-kill-all-such-extensions-retroactively/). As of Chrome 25, external extension deployment options on Windows will be disabled by default (http://blog.chromium.org/2012/12/no-more-silent-extension-installs.html) and all extensions previously installed using them will be automatically disabled.
