Extensions

Chrome extensions, per profile. What you can install today, and what isn't supported yet.

This page is a first draft. It may change before the public beta.

Arx runs Chrome extensions. Each extension belongs to one profile and works in all of its spaces, so a work extension never sees your personal browsing.

Manage them in Settings → Profiles → ‹profile› → Manage Extensions…

What you can do

  • Enable, Disable and Remove an extension. Removing asks first.
  • See its permissions, and Open Options when it has an options page.
  • Install Package… installs a signed .crx file, and Update from Package… updates one. A review sheet shows the package's hash and permissions first.
  • With developer mode on, Load Unpacked… loads a folder you're working on.

Not available yet

  • Installing from the Chrome Web Store.
  • Native messaging, which some extensions use to talk to an app on your Mac.
  • Extensions in private windows.
  • Apple's iCloud Passwords extension.
Planned
iCloud Passwords and website passkeys. Both wait on Apple: Arx has to be added to Apple's list of browsers, and approved for passkey support.
