The extension will launch a new tab with a dark background.Once it’s installed, you’ll find a small “i” icon next to the Chrome address bar.If you don’t have Chrome, you can download it from /chrome. Launch Chrome, and install the “imgur” extension from here.Without further ado, lets see how we can turn a Chrome extension for imgur to a desktop app. I like to install as few software on my system as possible, and this extension-cum-desktop-app helps me reduce that number by one. While the desktop uploaders for imgur are pretty good (especially the ones for Mac OS X), you can actually convert a tiny Chrome extension to a full fledged desktop tool for the purpose. The service also provides an API, which is used by a quite a few desktop tools and browser extensions (makes me like it even more). Imgur is one of my favorite image-sharing webapps, thanks to its sheer simplicity of uploading and sharing screenshots.
