I only found a not so quick registry hack for Chrome on Windows :-/

For Windows, you can also whitelist your extension through Windows policies. The full steps are details in this answer, but there are quicker steps:

Create the registry key HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Policies\Google\Chrome\ExtensionInstallWhitelist. For each extension you want to whitelist, add a string value whose name should be a sequence number (starting at 1) and value is the extension ID. For instance, in order to whitelist 2 extensions with ID aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa and bbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbb, create a string value with name 1 and value aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa, and a second value with name 2 and value bbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbb. This can be sum up by this registry file:

Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Policies\Google\Chrome]

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Policies\Google\Chrome\ExtensionInstallWhitelist] "1"="aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa" "2"="bbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbb" EDIT: actually, Chromium docs also indicate how to do it for other OS.
