In modern browsers a large number of useful add-ons that increase the functionality of the browser.
In Mozila Firefox, these add-ons are called plugins, and in the Google Chrome browser, extensions.
Using plugins and extensions, you can, for example, download videos from YouTube.
Installing Mozila Firefox plugins differs from installing extensions for Google Chrome, and therefore we will analyze the installation of extensions in Google Chrome in more detail.

Good day, dear readers, today we will continue to study the Google Chrome browser, and consider a few more things from its functionality. The topic of today's post will be how to save google extension chrome to your computer, this means creating a folder on your computer from which, at any time without the Internet, you can install the extension.
And so earlier I told you which ones I use in my practice, we looked at how to install, disable and delete them. Let's imagine the situation. what you would always like to have in the arsenal of your distributions, installation files of your chrome extensions, so that you can install it anywhere and without the Internet. Let's first understand where the extensions folder is located in chrome.
It is located in your user profile, the folder itself is hidden, so you need to enable the display of hidden and Windows folders. I have a dozen, but it’s done the same way everywhere, read the article on the link on the left.
C:\Users\Username\AppData\Local\Google\Chrome\User Data\Default\Extensions
As you can see, their names are not particularly readable, but you can of course go into each of them and:
- Look at the extension icons to understand what’s here
- View version
- Get into the script code
But there is a much simpler way, follow the link
https://chrome.google.com/webstore/category/apps
And paste any copied name from this abracadabra into the search bar. As a result, you see, I found out that this is our Access to RuTracker extension.
And so, in which folder of the chrome extensions we found out, now we need to learn how to drag and drop them.
If you just want to copy the folder with extensions and transfer them to another computer, then you will not succeed. We have two options for transferring.
- This is a chrome extension packaging and porting
- Downloading packages in .crx format and then installing them.
How to install an extension in google chrome manually
And so in order to be able to install the extension in google chrome manually, consider the two options described above.
Packaging extensions in chrome
Go to Settings and management of Google Chrome> Additional tools> Extensions. Check the Developer mode box and click the Package extension button.
Select a review and indicate the full path to the folder with the plugin; I did it like this
C:\Users\lacky\AppData\Local\Google\Chrome\User Data\Default\Extensions\apdfllckaahabafndbhieahigkjlhalf\14.1_0
A file of .crx and .pem format is generated, the first is the installer, and the second is private key.
This is what it looks like in the folder.
Next, you take these files and transfer them to new computer. Then open Google Chrome and simply transfer the file with the .crx extension into it. Once the installation begins, sometimes you may be asked for confirmation.
I would like to note that, unfortunately, this is how you can transfer 90 percent of chrome extensions
For example, I transferred the WOT plugin like this
Alternative method to get CRX file
Installing the Give Me CRX extension will help us, then go to any plugin you like in the store, look at its installation page and right-click
As a result, you will be redirected to a page with a download link.
If a window appears that it is impossible to add an application, extension or script from this site, then go to the address in your browser chrome://extensions
Then simply transfer the crx file and you will see the installation wizard.
This is how easy it is to create your offline collection of Google Chrome extensions,
In this tutorial I will tell you how to install the extension for Google browser Chrome.
All modern browsers are designed to expand their functionality. It is thanks to special extensions that you, as a user, have additional features, which the Google Chrome browser does not initially have. Using extensions, you can download videos from video hosting sites, for example, youtube.com, reduce your routine tasks to one click, and much, much more. It’s worth saying that installing the extension in the Google Chrome browser is very easy, so let’s get started.
The first step is to go to manage your browser extensions. Click on the right top corner button in the form of three bars, then select “Tools” from the drop-down menu, and then “Extensions”.
I suggest using a regular search and entering either the name of the extension, if it is familiar to you, or a keyword by which the site will try to find something suitable for you. Let's just try to find something matching the query "youtube".
After this, the extension will appear in your general list of installed extensions. Congratulations, you have installed a new extension in your browser.
In order to disable an installed extension or remove it, simply uncheck the “Enabled” option or click on the trash can icon next to the extension itself. After this, the extension will stop working or it will be removed from your browser.
Well, that's all you need to know about installing new extensions in your Google Chrome browser. I hope you will be careful and careful, install only proven extensions. In the next lesson I will tell you how you can change the theme for the Google Chrome browser.

Undoubtedly, it is the most popular web browser. This is due to its cross-platform, multi-functionality, wide configuration and customization capabilities, as well as support for the largest number (compared to competitors) extensions (add-ons). It is precisely where the latter are located that will be discussed in this article.
The question of where extensions are located in Chrome may interest users for various reasons, but first of all it is required to view and manage them. Below we will talk about how to go to add-ons directly through the browser menu, as well as where the directory with them is stored on the disk.
Web browser menu extensions
Initially, the icons of all add-ons installed in the browser are displayed to the right of the search bar. By clicking on this icon, you can access the settings of a specific add-on and controls (if provided).
If desired or necessary, icons can be hidden, for example, so as not to clutter up the minimalist toolbar. The section itself with all the added components is hidden in the menu.
Here you can not only view everything installed extensions, but also turn them on or off, delete, view additional information. For this purpose, corresponding buttons, icons and links are provided. It is also possible to go to the add-on page in the Google Chrome web store.
Folder on disk
Browser add-ons, like any program, write their files to the computer's disk, and they are all stored in one directory. Our task is to find her. In this case, you need to start from the version of the operating system installed on your PC. In addition, to get to the folder you are looking for, you will need to enable the display of hidden items.
- Go to the root of the system drive. In our case it is C:\.
- On the toolbar "Conductor" go to the tab "View", click on the button "Options" and select "Change folder and search options".
- In the dialog box that appears, also go to the tab "View", scroll through the list "Additional parameters" to the very end and place a marker opposite the item "Show hidden files, folders and disks".
- Click "Apply" And "OK" at the bottom of the dialog box to close it.
Now you can proceed to search for the directory in which the extensions installed in Google Chrome are stored. So, in Windows 7 and 10 versions you will need to go to the following path:
C:\Users\Username\AppData\Local\Google\Chrome\User Data\Default\Extensions
C:\ is the drive letter on which it is installed. operating system and the browser itself (default), in your case it may be different. Instead of "Username" you need to insert your name account. Folder "Users", indicated in the example path above, in Russian-language editions of the OS is called "Users". If you don't know your account name, you can look it up in this directory.
In Windows XP, the path to a similar folder will look like this:
C:\Users\Username\AppData\Local\Google\Chrome\Data\Profile\Default\Extensions
Additionally: If you go back a step (to the Default folder), you can see other directories for browser add-ons. IN "Extension Rules" And "Extension State" user-specified rules and settings of these software components are stored.
Unfortunately, the names of the extension folders consist of an arbitrary set of letters (they are also displayed during the process of downloading and installing them in the web browser). You can only understand where and what add-on is located by looking at its icon and examining the contents of the subfolders.
Conclusion
This is how you can easily find out where the Google Chrome browser extensions are located. If you need to view them, configure them and access controls, you should refer to the program menu. If you need to access the files directly, simply go to the appropriate directory on system disk your PC or laptop.
