How to download Google Chrome extension

Google Chrome extension can be downloaded from the below link by changing the entire string {EXTENSION_ID}, including curly brackets, to the extension id that you need: https://clients2.google.com/service/update2/crx?response=redirect&prodversion=110.0.0.0&x=id%3D{EXTENSION_ID}%26installsource%3Dondemand%26uc&nacl_arch=x86-64&acceptformat=crx2,crx3

This link will download the *.crx file, which should be renamed to *.zip.

You can get the extension id from the extension page in the Chrome Web Store.

Example

For example, you want to download Google Translate extension, this extension has the link https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/google-translate/aapbdbdomjkkjkaonfhkkikfgjllcleb and the last part of the url is the extension id: aapbdbdomjkkjkaonfhkkikfgjllcleb.

Next you should replace {EXTENSION_ID} from the first link to aapbdbdomjkkjkaonfhkkikfgjllcleb like https://clients2.google.com/service/update2/crx?response=redirect&prodversion=110.0.0.0&x=id%3Daapbdbdomjkkjkaonfhkkikfgjllcleb%26installsource%3Dondemand%26uc&nacl_arch=x86-64&acceptformat=crx2,crx3 and open this link in the browser. After some time you’ll get file extension_2_0_13_0.crx then you need to rename it to the zip format like extension_2_0_13_0.zip.
