What is a CRX File Type?
You can manually install the Chrome extensions by dragging the CRX files to the Extensions window. You can open this window by selecting Window → Extensions in the menu of the application, or by setting the 'address of your browser on chrome: / / chrome / extensions.
Typically, Chrome extensions are installed by clicking on "+ Add to Chrome" buttons for an extension on the Chrome Web Store. After clicking on the button, downloads the&apos, extension, unwrap it, then install it without the user having to interact with the CRX file. After installation, Chrome automatically deletes the CRX file.
The CRX files use .ZIP formatting. However, it also contains a personalized @-@head section of the file, so that standard Zip decompression utilities may not be able to decompress them.
