Comment #3 on issue 26167 by [email protected]: Get rid of click in  
download bar for most extensions
http://code.google.com/p/chromium/issues/detail?id=26167

Don't we want to encourage folks to use the gallery?

I'm worried that just having the install dialog is too much like the  
ActiveX install experience, which has tricked
many, many people into installing malware like comet cursor.  The nice  
thing about our current UI is that it
mirrors downloading and running an EXE.  That removes the incentive for  
attacker's to target the extension
system.  They might as well just provide an EXE.
