Crx-extensions (packed) in SlimJet 17

Post by FurLonerD »

In SlimJet 17 almost all manually packed crx extensions don't work - "This extension may have been corrupted." (some extensions still work).
Will this functional returned/fixed in SlimJet or it was cutted off on purpose?

This is an issue with the Blink engine that Slimjet is using. I would expect this to be resolved with the next major release.

In the mean time there are discussions online regarding work-a-round

I didn't explore the google hits further. I'm sure there is much to be found on this issue.

this change is intended and will become standard behavior , all part of As per the policy described in https://blog.chromium.org/2015/05/conti ... -from.html, Chrome is trying to protect users from malicious extensions by disabling or preventing the installation of unwanted off-store extensions. So unless flashpeak can get around it with coding i wouldn't bet on this being resolved as its not a bug per-say.....what .crx are causing you problems i know the few i had were actually page themes from userstyles so i by passed the drag and and drop method by installing them through tampermonkey as a userscript
