Can not be switched to in Chrome 51.0.2704.106 (64-bit) on Linux

I know this hasn't been updated in a long time but still wondering if you know or have any plans to work on this.
It can not be activated or switched to anymore.

I thought people don't use it anymore. We usually tell people to use http://avro.im/ instead.

I will try to have a look at it. But, can't confirm any time because I don't have any Linux box ATM.

So, I looked into it and it does not work in Windows either, because many of the chrome extension api's used in the extension have long been deprecated.
I'm trying to build a new one using the latest api's. Main problem I'm facing is that under the new guidelines you are supposed to turn on and off the script from the background.js, the content.js can not access the chrome.command keyboard shortcuts.
So I think I will have to somehow modify the avro js to make it possible to be toggle-able from outside.

I'm trying to use avropad but I need help,
In the avropad source
if I embed avro.min.js,
Is there any way to call a function to enable and disable avro parsing on a text field?
Like enableAvro($selector,true) to turn on, and enableAvro($selector,false) to turn off?

Scratch that, I've almost fixed it. I got confused because of my very low level of Chrome extension and JS knowledge.
Anyway, I've fixed it.
Will be giving a pull request soon. :)

Sorry, I was busy with work. So, couldn't reply you in time.

No problem, I hope you update the version on Chrome store as well. Now me and a bunch of my friends are using this with developer mode on chrome.
