Full summary | |
This is a simple extension that adds a shortcut to the browser's Extensions page. When installed it will add Extensions button to the toolbar. Click the icon and you'll open the extensions tab. There are two options available: you can set the button to open the extensions list in a new tab or in the current tab and, if you want, you can add/remove the shortcut from the context menu. If you want to have instant access to your extensions right from your toolbar this is the tool -- fast, lightwight and efficient. Questions & Answers Why adding separate extension for something that needs only few clicks in the menu? -- Because with the extensions button in the toolbar you’ll do it in one click, which is much faster :) But extensions eat system memory, isn’t it stupid to waste resources just for quick shortcut to the extensions page? -- This extension doesn’t “eat” memory. Technically, it uses non-persistent background page, which means Chrome doesn’t need to reserve memory for the extensions (check the Chrome Task Manager to see for yourself: when you click on the extensions icon it will start the extension, open the extensions page and release the memory used seconds after that) |
