TikTok is not primarily livestreaming, but it does have live streams (with live chat overlay on top of video, looking very similar to live streaming interface of Instagram or Periscope)

So apparently TikTok Live is mostly a competitor to those two (and maybe YouNow) but not to widescreen/desktop-oriented streams of Twitch

YouTube Live on the other hand is very much a competitor to Twitch (livestreaming to millions and NOT auto-expiring/deleting past broadcasts by default is something only YouTube can do for now)

stalledon Chrome limits off-store extension installs

I believe the parent knows that and you are missing the point, "the apt way" is what Chrome did before this change - you could simply click-install extension from any source and future updates would automatically use its custom update_url (if any).

Now after this change it becomes analogous to "the App-Store-only way unless you are technically inclined enough to google up how to workaround". Definitely not "the same model that every Linux distro uses".

The closest thing is Android, but Android has an obvious easily accessible checkbox "Allow installation of non-Market apps". Chrome didn't get such a checkbox in Options (nor a toggle in chrome://flags/).

Technically, there is a new command-line switch, but its current full name was never mentioned even in the related bug tracker issues (http://crbug.com/128748, http://crbug.com/55584). You have to look into the source code to find it: --enable-easy-off-store-extension-install
