5. You should now have the MBark extension Installed!

   Note: You'll get an annoying "Disable developer mode extensions" warning every time you start chrome
         You cannot disable this. There used to be an old way via group policy, 
         but google removed it because of malware concerns.
         If its really bothering you can install Chrome Canary
