GNOME Shell integration extension is running, native host connector is not detected?

Question

I have followed these steps while installing the gnome extension of chromium in Ubuntu 20.04.

1. Installed the GNOME Shell integration extension on chromium.

2. As per their documentation ran a command to install chrome-gnome-shell

   sudo apt-get install chrome-gnome-shell

Still while loading the gnome-extensions page, it is showing error that "Although GNOME Shell integration extension is running, native host connector is not detected. Refer documentation for instructions about installing connector."

Can anyone tell me how to resolve this issue in steps?

Answer 1

FYI: starting from Ubuntu 21.10 Firefox comes as a default browser and as a snap, as well as Chromium. And has the same problem: GNOME Shell integration shows the same error. Other ways to install the extensions are:

1. gnome-extensions install --force your_downloaded_extension.zip
2. unzip your_downloaded_extension.zip ~/.local/share/gnome-shell/extensions/
