There's this great REST client "extension" for Chrome, but the only way I can find to launch it is to go to the Chrome webstore!
It's listed as Enabled in my Chrome extensions. Is there any local way to launch it?
Chrome's Apps page should have the launch icon for Advanced REST client now that it's been installed.
URL: chrome://apps/
From Chrome Web Store Help:
The Chrome App Launcher is no longer available on Windows, Mac or Linux. You can still open your Chrome Apps at chrome://apps.
Visit that URL. Click the icon for the app.
Press "Details" on the Extensions page and create a shortcut

I have an extension which talks to a native application. This application only works on macOS or Windows. But when I add the extension to my browser, it is also synchronized automatically to platforms where it does not make sense such as Linux or Chrome OS.
I'd figured there would be an option in the manifest.json to limit the app to specific platforms but I can't find anything like that. Am I correct? Or is there a solution?
Extensions will be installed based on chrome login. So it will be installed on all devices with chrome login.
You can programmatically enable/disable your scripts after checking for supported platform OS.
Use this API in background script to collect platform details - API Link.

I am a bit confused... I was reading the tutorial for developing chrome extensions. But once I reach the step where to release it, I saw the developer console this message.
Does it means that my chrome extension will no longer available for chrome browser on any other OS than Chrome OS?
Chrome Apps are not Chrome extensions. The change in policy applies to Chrome Apps, not Chrome Extensions.
Your Chrome extension will be available for users of Google Chrome on all OS platforms where Chrome supports extensions (i.e. not on Android).
I am trying to setup remote desktop access to a chrome box. Plan is to be able to access the chrome box from any where by just entering a pin and I don't want user using the chrome box to generate a key for me and send it over to me.
I thought chrome remote desktop app would help me achieve this, but Enable remote connections option is not available on chrome Remote desktop app on Chrome OS. This option is available if the app is installed on windows and I was able to remote in. Is there any option to achieve the same in Chrome OS?

Till now I have been using the default browser with my Samsung Galaxy S2. When Browsing if I found and clicked on a link that was from Wikipedia or IMDB for instance it would ask and give the choice if I wanted to open them in the "Internet" Browser or the installed IMDB/Wikipedia App. I have since tried other Browser Apps. (Firefox, Dolphin, Skyfire, Opera etc) and none of these appear to pop up with the option to open them in an app. They go straight to the website. The only app I have found that does offer the choice is Chrome, but it seems to crash a bit too often. Am just wondering if I am missing something in the the other browsers I have looked at. I like Dolphin and Firefox, but would like to see them offer the option to open sites in installed apps. Is there options to get them to do this? Thanks!
It is because those browsers (Firefox, Dolphin, Skyfire, Opera) you have tested at the end of 2012 don't support or have problems with calling external intents.
Here is the issue about implementation that feature on Firefox.

How is IETab able to launch Internet explorer in Google ?hrome? Can I launch other browsers like FireFox or Safari like Internet explorer inside Google Chrome?
My intention behind this is to know what language they are using to enable this functionality.
They are rehosting the WebBrowser control.
