I fought hard with the Chrome team to get them to reintroduce a sensible way for developers to install their own .crx files, but I failed:
https://code.google.com/p/chromium/issues/detail?id=133818 We clearly need to update our documentation to explain to people how to use the "load unpacked extension" command on the pkg/crx/ subdirectory after running the Chrome build script. We should also probably start building and hosting intermediary .zip files as well as the final .crx files, since it isn't possible to do "load unpacked extension" on a .crx.
