However, this application itself does not support installing new extensions, instead, it opens a web browser with a extensions.gnome.org website that allows browsing and installing new extensions. This website depends on a chrome-gnome-shell package that provides GNOME Shell integration (connector) for Firefox, Chrome, Chromium and other web browsers for this functionality. Without this connector, it is not possible to install Shell Extensions on Ubuntu 20.04. * In this SRU, I want to propose adding this chrome-gnome-shell package to recommends of the gnome-shell-extension-prefs package. However, since the gnome-shell-extension-prefs package is in a main repository and chrome-gnome-shell is in universe, it would be probably also needed to first move the gnome-shell-extension-prefs package to universe. [Test Case] * Install the "gnome-shell-extension-prefs" (Extensions) application. * Open the "Extensions" application, click the "i" button in the window header, click the "extensions.gnome.org" link. * In the web browser window, click on link inside the blue notification on extensions.gnome.org to install a browser extension (frontend for the connector), then refresh the page. * After this, a red notification appears on the web page telling the user that host connector is not running. [Regression Potential] * Without the chrome-gnome-shell package installed, it is not possible to install Shell Extensions on Ubuntu 20.04.
