Till now, Chrome users had to use a comment line attribute to enable support for third party extensions in the web browser.

The company said in a blog post:

Removing the flag is the first step in our launch process, and it means we’re ready for a few more people to start using extensions– the kind of adventurous people who populate the dev channel.

Google however warns that users should only use Chrome extensions from reliable sources.
