There’s this cool python script chromexup that allows declaratively managing chromium based extensions. Basically setup the configuration in the right place, find the extension id from the Chrome web store URL and run chromexup.

If the history/bookmarks database gets too large, funky auto–suggestion stuff can happen (100% processor usage). imo, it’s best not to trust browsers storing bookmarks anyway and use an independent tool/method. The less data coupled to browsers the better — at least if you’re like me and swap browsers regularly.
