Chrome Extensions
Stay organized with collections
Save and categorize content based on your preferences.
Chrome Extensions can be either packed or unpacked.
- Packed extensions are a single file with a
.crx
extension.
- Unpacked extensions are a directory containing the extension, including a
manifest.json
file.
To pack an unpacked extension, use the Pack button in chrome://extensions
or
use Chrome: "chrome.exe --pack-extension=C:\path\to\unpacked\extension --pack-extension-key=C:\myext.pem"
. To unpack a packed extension,
extract the file. You may need to rename the filetype from .crx
to .zip
for your
zip utility to recognize it.
Refer to the Extensions documentation for other ways to do
this which are more automation friendly.
