Google Chrome extension for checking IP
As per July 24 Google avail the extension features only on developers and beta versions of Google Chrome. In my previous article we launch the Google Chrome Bookmarklet for instant IP checking which can be accessed on any latest version of Google Chrome with the help of bookmarks bar. In this post we are launching the extension (*.crx) of What is my IP. Before installing any extension you need to read the following documentations.

Alternatively, to install the downloaded .crx, run the following style of command ::
D:\Users\English\AppData\Local\Google\Chrome\Application\chrome.exe –enable-extensions “f:\isk4M\Chrome\myip.crx”
Chrome v3.0.195.1 then asks “Are you sure you want to install this extension ?”
After confirming this, and also restarting Chrome I guess (using “chrome.exe –enable-extensions”), there’s the IP bottom left.
(And when starting without the parameter, no IP seen.)

Google not yet officially launched the extensions features and is valid only with “chrome.exe –enable-extensions” !
If you want to run the extensions you must need to enable it via properties !
