Remove Chrome developer extension popup (.bat)

[Sapphire_Romance14]

You know that annoying pop up when you install Easy Proxy or another cracked extension?

This bastard:

Save this to DevWarningPatch.bat inside C:\Program Files (x86)\Google\Chrome\Application\ and then what ever version number you have. Run as admin.

Code from: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/...veloper-mode-extensions-pop/30361260#30361260

I'd just use a hex editor, find chrome.dll and misspell "ExtensionDeveloperModeWarning" with something like "ExtensionDeveloperModeFucking".
That works, or just use Opera which is based from chrome now which doesn't have the stupid warning.
