Google has stated that Chrome would only allow you to use extensions that have been made available on the Chrome Web Store going forward in order to protect you when you surf. If you’re prepared to take a chance, you can install extensions that aren’t available in the Chrome Web Store by using a side door that Google Chrome Browser left open for developers to test their additions.
Steps to Install Chrome Extensions on PC or Mac
Launch Chrome browser on your computer or Mac and go to chrome.google.com/webstore/category/extensions.
When you find an extension you like, just click on its name to see more details. If you want to use the extension, click Add to Chrome.
When you install the extension, you will be able to learn more about how it works. After you are satisfied, just click Add extension. ..
The extension will be added and you will receive a notification about it. You will also see a puzzle-like icon in Chrome’s toolbar. Click on the icon and select an extension from the list to use it.
To make changes to your extensions, click the puzzle icon and select Extensions. ..
Remove an extension from your browser.
Final Words
To protect your users and extension installations, we recommend that you use the following security measures:
- Use a secure browser extension installation process.
- Restrict the rights of extensions to specific websites and browsing platforms.
- Keep track of the permissions granted to extensions by their developers.
