Ungoogled-chromium: Web Store Extension

Created on 4 Apr 2020  路  7Comments  路  Source: Eloston/ungoogled-chromium

Hello,

Many of us can not drag&drop Web Store or other CRX files to extension on UGC. Then please bundle UGC releases with Web Store extension then no need to drag&drop other crx files by chrome store.

Thanks

There's no easy way to bundle Chromium Web Store because each platform is pretty different, and most of them don't have an easy way to bundle removable extensions I believe.

Also, this wouldn't really be a problem if we fixed #923 and https://github.com/ungoogled-software/ungoogled-chromium-windows/issues/23. I think those are more important anyway, so closing as wontfix.

But what about those, who don't need them?

Is it hard to remove by clicking?! It is "impossible" to add those who need them though...

You don't need to drag and drop - go to chrome://flags and change "Handling of extension MIME type requests" to Always Prompt to Install. Then, just go to your FM and open the crx file with Ungoogled Chromium.
That being said, I do second having the Chromium Web Store extension installed by default for sheer convenience - it makes it much easier to install addons. Whoever doesn't need it can simply remove it. What's the harm?

This is a common issue that's been going for a while. Many of us are trying to figure out how to fix this: https://github.com/Eloston/ungoogled-chromium/issues/923

unfortunately, Windows right click and open with menu can not accept UGC as a program then can not open crx file with it. so weird but the case is that.

Edit: This is a duplicate of #923.
