How to get rid of "disable developer mode extensions" pop-up [duplicate]

Recently Google added this annoying pop up to the dev channel.

Someone answered here (Disable developer mode extensions pop up in Chrome) to edit the chrome.dll to get rid of the pop up.

However, the method described there does not seem to work anymore.

Additionally, it would be nice to have a batch script that patches chrome.dll should Google push a new update.

EDIT: Open to new hacks, since wOxxOm stopped maintaining his useful script (the manual method seems to be outdated as well)

How do I disable developer mode extensions popup?

Pack your extension: go to chrome://extensions , check Developer mode and click Pack extension. Install the extension by dragging and dropping the . crx file into the chrome://extensions page. You'll get an "Unsupported extensions disabled" popup if you try restarting Chrome at this point.

What does disable developer mode extensions mean?

If you're not a developer, you should disable these extensions running in developer mode to stay safe. This alert contains a button that is labeled Disable that when clicked will automatically disable, but not delete, any extensions that were forcibly installed or installed through Developer Mode.

How do I disable all extensions at once?

Open the Chrome browser and click on the three-dot menu icon in the upper right-corner. Click on More tools >Extensions. You'll see a list of all Chrome extensions and a toggle where you can disable every extension.

I am adding here the official ways to solve this issue and I know they are not optimal, but it makes sense that these solutions are present here.

The first solution and the most complicated one is to create a Google Store Account and go through all the steps to activate it, with it you can upload your extension package and keep it Private, so you can share the link to this package to who will need to install it, this way that message will never show since the extension has been approved by Google team and it's secure.

The second option is to download the Chrome Dev Browser, linked Here, it wont show on the screen that you are downloading the Dev Channel, you have to trust it is happening. This version of the browser works side by side with the official version so you don't have to uninstall or anything, and all settings are separated so it's really like a different browser.

I am using version 64 of it and it solved my problem with the extension.

If you can't use dev/canary builds the easiest way to remove the pop-up is to package your extension and then use group policies to whitelist it, as outlined here: https://stackoverflow.com/a/38011386/991321
