Extension summary
If you've ever developed a Google Chrome™ extension, you might have wanted to automate the process of reloading your unpacked extension without the need of going through the extensions page.
"Extensions Reloader" allows you to reload all unpacked extensions using 3 ways: 1- The extension's toolbar button 2- Browsing to "http://reload.extensions" 3- Keyboard shortcut
The toolbar icon will reload unpacked extensions using a single click.
The "reload by browsing" is intended for automating the reload process using "post build" scripts - just browse to "http://reload.extensions", and chrome will open with freshly reloaded extensions.
Whenever a refresh is executed, a green "OK" badge will appear on Extensions Reloader's toolbar icon.
** This extension is open-source and available on GitHub: https://github.com/arikw/chrome-extensions-reloader
