Description of Changes

  • Extension CRXs will now be fetched directly from Google servers
  • crx4chrome is still used to determine the address of the pinned version
    The approach is quite hacky, but it seems to work consistently
    If this stops working due to bot checks in the future, we will have to resort disabling pinned version extensions

Other

  • Updated Session Buddy extension 4.1.0 -> 4.1.1

Can't reproduce with latest - both extensions are available and both work 🤔

This was my bad. I just learnt that Open page in normal browser extension is only visible in the Trusted Browser after the laptop has been connected to internet. Once I connected the extension reappeared. Same behavior in mainline.
