Hello Guixers
I installed ungoogled-chromium and ublock-origin-chromium and just assumed
it will work. But it seems that the extension does not get registered in
chromium. Does anybody know what I have to do to achieve this?
Marius Bakke mentioned in his patch [1] that updating does not work, is
this the reason why?
Thanks for any advice.
Cheers,
Reza

It should definitively "just work", however there are caveats:
* It relies on the $CHROMIUM_EXTENSION_DIRECTORY variable, which is
automatically configured by Guix when you install both packages; but
you may need to log out and in again for it to take effect.
* If you have a previous ~/.config/chromium directory from the (googled)
Chromium laying around, there may be strange interactions.
You can avoid both caveats by running:
guix shell {ungoogled,ublock-origin}-chromium -- \
chromium --user-data-dir=/tmp/chromium-profile
Does the extension show up then?

Updating has since been fixed. :-)
Thanks,
Marius

But what about icecat? The description of the ublock-origin-chromium
states:
> uBlock Origin is a "wide spectrum blocker" for IceCat and

A ublock-origin-icecat or ublock-origin-xpi does not exist. There's a
ublock-origin package with outputs xpi, firefox and chromium (see
gnu/packages/browser-extensions.scm) but it's not exported. Are these
artifacts of different times or a work in progress?
Also removing ~/.mozilla/icecat (as removing ~/.config/chromium) doesn't
help to get ublock-origin-chromium to work with icecat.
R.

Hi Marius
Logging in and out did the trick, should've known better.
So it should work updating the extension via guix?
Thanks,
Reza
