Did the hangouts extension just stop working for anyone else? My contact list is blank, restarts/force-quits does not fix it. I'm wondering if it's related to the new profile manager thing.

Alternatively, is there a good standalone chat client that supports hangouts? I used pidgin for a while but it's clunky as hell and doesn't support as many features as the google client.

The Hangouts extension had been replaced with a Hangouts Chrome app today, might explain it.

Whoa thank you. Installed that and it's working, now to figure out how to make the chrome apps stuff less intrusive.

e: holy poo poo this is annoying, how do I get rid of the floating bubble and get it out of my taskbar? (just noticed the above poster asked the same thing but yeah, sucks)

It does that for me after a program has gone full-screen. The new hangouts app is buggy as hell but the old extension doesn't work anymore so I'm patiently waiting for Google to fix it.

Yeah it works fine for everyone else I've talked with too, just not for me!! The contact list is blank and messages aren't received.

chrome now has "apps" that are like extensions except take up memory all of the time independently of the browser being open, it's great.

I use magic actions for youtube and refuse to use anything else because mousewheel volume control is lord.

It pissed me off too given that a lot of my browsing is on an htpc with a small wireless keyboard and backspace is just right. Here's an extension to fix it:
