New Chrome dev build killed the Norton Toolbar?

I kinda thought this would happen sooner or later. I updated to 15.0.874.0 dev-m today and the Toolbar is gone. The extension is still active, but some options are greyed out.

Scratch this, after a couple of hours and Chrome restarts it's suddenly back. :smileysurprised: I think it figured out I reported it missin'. :smileysurprised:

Hi TomiRed,

I would only expect the Norton Toolbar to function properly on the final releases of Chrome, and not the Dev Builds. We can't anticipate the code in the dev builds, so we'll need time to test with them before we make corrections. Some new builds may work, others may not. If you rely on the Norton Toolbar, I would stick with running only the non-Dev builds of Chrome. :smileyhappy:

I found out soon after that enabling one flag in about:flags disables several extensions, not only the Norton one. The flag you SHOULD NOT enable is Lazy background loading, or something like that. Anyways, it is gone now from about:flags. Also, the last two developer versions have me seeing much less Norton Confidential crashes. Just wanted to let you know.
