Doesn't work for me on latest mainstream Chrome on 10.7-- when I download, the button says "Keep" instead of "Continue" (i.e. it's treating it as a file instead of an extension). Then when it's downloaded the CRX, attempting to load it causes Chrome to try and re-download the same CRX file, bringing up a save dialog...

Reporting back from what our support team found out about this download issue: If a user has his default download folder set to an incessible location (for example, a second drive that has recently failed), the auto-install script will have trouble.

Just drag the .crx file into the Chrome window if you're having the same issue.

uh oh, that's not what's supposed to happen. Can you install other extensions? If so, please email us at support@baydin.com and we'll see if we can help out.
Same thing happened to me. Downloaded it instead, and tried to install and it still didn't work. OSX Lion, chrome v 19.0.1084.30
Can you send us an email as well? We tested on Lion before release this morning, and everything seemed OK on our end
