I can vouch for this; it worked fine any time I needed to load extensions. Note that you have to make sure that it is invoked as early as possible before any web view is created. If you doubt about where to call it, my advice is to use a callback for the WebKitWebContext::initialize-web-extensions signal (which is also what the documentation recommends). Cheers, -Adrián
