Important notes

Extensions installed as unpacked aren't updated automatically. To update the extension you should download it and install as unpacked again.

Unpacked extensions are installed as separate instances. If you have Web Scrobbled instaled from Chrome Web Store, you should disable it; otherwise you'll get double scrobbles.
