Установил через терминал Chrome Gnome Shell, потом поставил расширение, перезагрузился и когда захожу на сайт расширений, то пишет "Не найдены настройки или версия GNOME Shell. Убедитесь, что приложение установлено и запущено." и поэтому нельзя ничего поставить.

Корисне розширення!

John Tango2019年4月18日

Used gnome for quite some time, with time it became more buggy, more ugly, more unfunctional, strange behavior, less support .... etc. So sorry for the time I spent with this tool adjusting it, fixing it, hoping this will work better with next version. Just a waste of time. It is far away from what is supposed to be. Please stop developing this, you will save your time and other's time. Stay away.

Chrome browser integration with GNOME Shell, enabling users to install, manage, enable, and uninstall GNOME Shell extensions directly from the extensions.gnome.org website via native messaging to the local GNOME desktop environment.

Linux GNOME desktop users need a bridge between their Chrome browser and the GNOME Shell extension system. Without this extension, there is no way to install or manage GNOME Shell extensions from the extensions.gnome.org website in Chrome. The extension also solves extension list synchronization across devices.

User installs the chrome-gnome-shell native connector package on their Linux system, then installs this Chrome extension. When visiting extensions.gnome.org, the extension injects scripts that communicate with GNOME Shell via the native connector, allowing one-click install/uninstall/enable/disable of GNOME Shell extensions directly from the website. Optionally, users can enable extension list synchronization to sync their GNOME extensions across Chrome instances via their Google account.

Target users: Linux desktop users running GNOME Shell / Users who browse extensions.gnome.org to find and install GNOME Shell extensions / Users of distributions like Arch, Debian, Fedora, Gentoo, Ubuntu

The optional Google account sync feature uses chrome.storage.sync, which relies on the user being signed into Chrome with a Google account—but this is a Chrome feature, not a login requirement of the extension itself. The distinction is clear: core functionality needs no login, sync is opt-in.

Monetization

No paid features detected

No paid features exist. The 'upgrade' keyword in locale files refers to upgrading GNOME Shell extension versions (e.g., 'Extension Top Icons can be upgraded'), not paid upgrades. The 'pro' keyword appears only in locale file descriptions (project title descriptions) and in messages about upgrading the native host connector for missing APIs. The extension is GPL-3.0 licensed, open-source, and the destination service extensions.gnome.org is a free repository. No billing, payment, subscription, or licensing APIs are present in the source code.

Confidence: 99
Payment platform: --
Source: AI / High
Login required: No
Reason: The core workflow—browsing extensions.gnome.org and managing GNOME Shell extensions via native messaging—requires no login. The optional 'Synchronize GNOME Shell extensions list' feature uses chrome.storage.sync which syncs via the user's Google account, but this is entirely optional and not needed for the primary product functionality. The extension has no login UI and the destination service (extensions.gnome.org) does not require an account to install/manage extensions.
