Chromium take extensions protection a step further

Sometime ago Chromium started not to allow extensions to be installed outside of Chrome WebStore, unless the user drags and drops any of those extensions to install them.

I was testing ABP, and a new build I downloaded moments (not sure if other previous build had it already), presented me with a warning saying it blocked ABP, because it could had been installed without my consent. It makes sense, because I didn't install the version available at Chrome Web Store.

I could then enable it back. It's nice to see they're taking additional measures to protect users. A better vetting process would be better... but... things are getting better, I think.

I can agree to this. So, any idea when this measure might get itself into stable Chrome?
