title: Self host & Autoupdate Google Chrome Extension
body: <p>I want to host my extension on my own server. I found this page: <a href="https://developer.chrome.com/extensions/hosting" rel="nofollow">https://developer.chrome.com/extensions/hosting</a></p>
  
  <p>which says at the beginning:</p>
  
  <blockquote>
    <p>Warning: As of Chrome 33, Windows users can only download extensions hosted in the Chrome Web store, except for installs via enterprise policy or developer mode (see Protecting Windows users from malicious extensions). As of Chrome 44, no external installs are allowed from a path to a local .crx on Mac (see Continuing to protect Chrome users from malicious extensions).</p>
  </blockquote>
  
  <p>This seems to suggest that you can't host extensions on your own anymore, only via Chrome Store. Is that correct or is there a way to host your own Chrome extensions?</p>
