Downloading and installing add-ons on Chrome is no longer strange to users, but downloading and installing add-ons from .crx as well as packing gadgets installed on Chrome to get the .crx file is not everyone knows. .

If you don't know, .crx is the extension (file extension) of the utilities installed on Chrome. Installing the utility on this browser can be done easily from Chrome Store, but in some cases you need to install from .crx, want to get .crx of the add-on installed, it needs to be done differently .
