Not sure if having to use an extension is a dealbreaker for you but this one allows you to 1) Install extensions from the Chrome web store 2) Update them https://github.com/NeverDecaf/chromium-web-store

I use ungoogled-chromium for sites that don't behave well on Firefox (due to needing third-party cookies and so on). I find the extension[0] allowing for the installation and updating of Google Chrome App Store extensions to be immensely valuable. [0] https://github.com/NeverDecaf/chromium-web-store
