Please read this... Explanation on using policies for extensions according Chromium.org recomnadations

[bontinckd]

Hoi,

Possibly it is related to other issues, but to help, I would like to provide following info...

Managing Chrome settings on windows can be via 3 ways:

1. directly via the registry
2. using local policies via the local policy editor
3. Using GPO's on a windows Active directory

(end the end GPO's and local policies result in Registry settings applied on a windows system)

Option 1 can be used also via GPO's by importing a registry-file with the correct settings

For option 2 & 3 you need the google chrome admx-files being placed in the windows C:\Windows\PolicyDefinitions location to be able to use them in the windows Group Policy Management Editor via "Computer Configuration/Policies/Administrative Templates"

Consulting the Chromium.org website I found following info:
https://www.chromium.org/administrators/configuring-policy-for-extensions.
This rule tells where to store in the Registry Policies for extensions, meaning specific settings for a certain extension. You will see that the ID of the extension is used.

Now I can understand that you have made a solution that easily runs on multiple platforms by not using the Windows registry. But Chromium based browsers like Google Chrome and Mozilla Firefox are heavily using the Windows-registry, and can be deployed via GPO's, so it is really a pitty that your extension is not using it also.

Like thousand other system engineers I hope you give priority to implement the Chromium.org recommandations. Because your TGS works better then the native tab discard method from Chrome. TGS, releases more memory !!!

DannY.
