Require Chromium >=60
Background
Apparently any version of Chrome < 60 throws file errors when extensions are installed from the Web Store.
I'm not sure they changed the minimal required Chrome version (and btw, 59 is the version that updates itself automatically to the latest), but 55, 58, and 59 throw file erros, while 60 gets the extension installed.
The issue is not just with ABP, it's every extension I could try.
What to change
Increase minimum_chrome_version
in manifest.json
to 60, and respectively minimum_opera_version
to 47.
