You have to be running GNOME Shell when looking to add/change GNOME extensions.

If you are running GNOME Shell, and still having problems, then...

You need to install this:

sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install chrome-gnome-shell

and then add this web browser add-on, if it's not already there:

GNOME Shell Integration 8.2.1
