Extensions and Sketchup Free (browser version)

Hi all,
my 1st post, so hello!

Is it possible to install extensions in the Free browser version? Specifically I was looking at Roundcorner by Fredo6.

BUT... you can still get a Make [or Pro] version of v2017, which supports all current plugins [provided that they are not 'pro-only']

What’s up with SketchUp Make?

As SketchUp evolves, our free software is shifting from desktop to web, where we think more people will be able to access, learn, and master 3D drawing. This week, we’re introducing SketchUp Free to the world. Our free w…
