Force Chrome to update my extension

Chrome isn't always the most responsive to extensions' updates. This screenshot and explanation will show how to tell chrome to check for new versions and get it.

2 clicks to tell chrome to check for an update
  1. Open Chrome's Extensions Page:

  2. Enable Developer Mode:

    • In the top-right corner of the Extensions page, toggle Developer mode on if it’s not already enabled. This allows access to additional options.

  3. Update Extensions:

    • Once Developer mode is enabled, you’ll see an Update button at the top of the page. Click this button to force Chrome to check for updates and apply them to all installed extensions.

  4. Verify the Update:

    • After clicking Update, Chrome will check for the latest versions and install any updates found. You can verify the update by checking the version number listed under each extension.
