Wow, works on Fedora 19. Thanks, Chris. I also had to create the extensions directory. For good measure I chown'd the file root:root as well. I used yum to install chrome 28 (stable) itself. I was able to do this because I had the Google .repo file on archive from an installation someone at Google helped me do some years ago. I imagine a little Google search would turn up the downloadable location of that repo file. But, with that file inhand, installation was a breeze. Thanks for the json file. It worked like a charm!
