It should definitively "just work", however there are caveats: * It relies on the $CHROMIUM_EXTENSION_DIRECTORY variable, which is automatically configured by Guix when you install both packages; but you may need to log out and in again for it to take effect. * If you have a previous ~/.config/chromium directory from the (googled) Chromium laying around, there may be strange interactions. You can avoid both caveats by running: guix shell {ungoogled,ublock-origin}-chromium -- \ chromium --user-data-dir=/tmp/chromium-profile Does the extension show up then? > Marius Bakke mentioned in his patch [1] that updating does not work, is > this the reason why? Updating has since been fixed. :-) Thanks, Marius signature.asc Description: PGP signature

So it should work updating the extension via guix? Thanks, Reza
icecat ublock-origin? (Re: ublock extension for ungoogled-chromium)
But what about icecat? The description of the ublock-origin-chromium states: > uBlock Origin is a "wide spectrum blocker" for IceCat and > ungoogled-chromium. A ublock-origin-icecat or ublock-origin-xpi does not exist. There's a ublock-origin package with outputs xpi, firefox and chromium (see gnu/packages/browser-extensions.scm) but it's not exported. Are these artifacts of different times or a work in progress? Also removing ~/.mozilla/icecat (as removing ~/.config/chromium) doesn't help to get ublock-origin-chromium to work with icecat. R.
