[Bug 1866841] Re: Add chrome-gnome-shell to ubuntu-desktop recommends

[AsciiWolf]

Martin, the new Extensions manager does not support installing new
extensions. It just contains instructions for users to open the
extensions.gnome.org page in their web browser. The functionality to
browse/install extensions via Extensions manager will be added in future
GNOME releases, but it is highly unlikely it will happen in 3.36.
Please, reconsider this. Not adding chrome-gnome-shell to the default
install in Ubuntu 20.04 will basically make it impossible for (non-
expert) users to install new GNOME Shell extensions.

Bug description:
  Please, consider adding the chrome-gnome-shell package as a
  recommended dependency for ubuntu-desktop package in Ubuntu 20.04. The
  chrome-gnome-shell package provides GNOME Shell integration
  (connector) for Firefox, Chrome, Chromium and other web browsers that
  is necessary for users to be able to manage GNOME Shell extensions
  using a extensions.gnome.org website. Since the Shell Extensions
  support was removed from gnome-software since 3.36 and the replacement
  Extensions application cannot be used to find and install new
  extensions, there is not any user friendly way to install new Shell
  Extensions without having the chrome-gnome-shell package installed.
