Extension Usage Instructions

                        Google Chrome Extensions are auto-updated. 
This is cool, no doubt about it, but how do you know when an extension is updated?

You don't until you install this extension.

▸ You will receive a notification when an extension is updated.
▸ If the updated extension has a log of records in its Chrome Web Store description, you can view it directly from the extension. 
▸ And unlike other extensions, it also works with disabled extensions.

If you also think Google Chrome should provide an option to toggle extensions updates notifications, go star this issue at http://crbug.com/28556
