Unless something changed in chromium this will not work, that is it
will not if you install more than one extension because chromium only
executes one load-extension argument. At least that's the way it was
when I checked.

The right way imo would be something like

export CHROMIUM_FLAGS="${CHROMIUM_FLAGS} --load-extension=`ls -dm
/usr/share/chromium/extensions/*|tr -d '\n'`"

It looks awkward to install this with every extension, so #890392
suggest to do it in chromium instead. Unfortunately this has been
ignored so far.
