The easiest to reproduce is Reddit Enhancement Suite 4.3.0.1, it immediately fails on loading the extension with this error: chrome.extension is not available: 'extension' is not allowed for specified context type content script, extension page, web page, etc.). [VM] binding (22):427 Following from anywhere that called chrome.extension.sendMessage or chrome.extension.onMessage in the extension. Chromium's own bug tracker says this usage is deprecated (replaced by chrome.runtime namespace which does work) but testing against Chrome 29.0.1547.76 on the stable channel, the older namespace works correctly with the extensions. chromium-browser: Installed: 29.0.1547.65-0ubuntu2 Candidate: 29.0.1547.65-0ubuntu2 Version table: *** 29.0.1547.65-0ubuntu2 0 500 http://mirrors.cat.pdx.edu/ubuntu/ saucy/universe amd64 Packages 100 /var/lib/dpkg/status To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/chromium-browser/+bug/1232575/+subscriptions -- Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~desktop-packages Post to : desktop-packages@lists.launchpad.net Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~desktop-packages More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
