I have a Debian Jessie 64bit 8.7 and
Google Chrome Stable 57.0.2987.110.
When I visited the GNOME Shell extensions site, I saw the following information:
Although GNOME Shell integration extension is running, native host connector
is not detected. Refer documentation for instructions about installing connector.
On Firefox ESR (Mozilla Firefox 45.6.0) , I got the following error:
ReferenceError: chrome is not defined
I can't install any GNOME extension because of it.
Should I install chrome-gnome-shell?
It is in stretch and sid repositiories, not in jessie.
Should I change browsers?

Yes, you should install the GNOME Shell integration for Chrome. The Debian 9 package’s dependencies are satisfiable in Debian 8, so
wget http://ftp.debian.org/debian/pool/main/c/chrome-gnome-shell/chrome-gnome-shell_8-4_all.deb
sudo gdebi chrome-gnome-shell_8-4_all.deb
should work (assuming you have gdebi installed).
You’ll need to copy all the JSON files from /etc/chromium/native-messaging-hosts to /etc/opt/chrome/native-messaging-hosts to get the packaged extension to work with Chrome; see the troubleshooting section for details.

Install chrome-gnome-shell depending on your distro and for the first time execute:
/usr/bin/python3 /usr/bin/chrome-gnome-shell --gapplicarion-service
After this the addon from chrome will detect the native plugin.

For those not familiar with Debian Terminal command line. The package for Debian 8 Jessie can be download with your favorite browser at http://ftp.debian.org/debian/pool/main/c/chrome-gnome-shell/chrome-gnome-shell_8-4_all.deb
The downside of this temporary workaround is that you will not get automated updates. You need to manually update this "chrome-gnome-shell" package.
