Are you in developer mode? If not, enable "Developer mode" and try again. It's at the top of the chrome://extensions/ tab.

I am in developer mode. It still doesn't let me use third party extensions. Here's a screenshot http://i.imgur.com/d5y8icz.png?1

Doing some more research, it looks like Chrome started doing this awhile ago to prevent malware, supposedly. You can now only get extensions through the Chrome web store.

Hmm. I'm not sure what is wrong. I don't have a Google store developer account, otherwise I would have published it there.

Try this as a workaround:

  - clone the repo
  - go to chrome://extensions/
  - enable "Developer mode"
  - Click on "Load unpacked extension..." and select the cloned directory

The advantage of this method is that you will be able to upgrade the extension in the future with a git-pull!
