When you disable the NB extension in Chrome and run, you get an Alert with an error indicator telling you to enable it.  We should NOT be showing this; it is the user's decision to disable it.  Even worse, we show it every single time the user runs.

And worst of all:  my page no longer renders *at all* in Chrome.  I need to re-enable the NB extension to even run my page in Chrome.

The user should be free to disable the extension and run her project in Chrome without any problems.

There are different browser types at the moment. Some of them has an IDE
integration and the others don't have.
Browsers with integration is supposed to work with plugin installed and enabled.
So it is legal to show the dialog for such browsers.
One could choose browser without IDE integration and there will be no any alerts.
